Tuesday was a day, y’all, let me tell you. My dad asks me every week what my highlight of the week was, and I usually answer that I didn’t have one. Well, this week I did.

Tuesday was the cover reveal for my book, Fifteen, and I couldn’t be happier for how it turned out. I’ll be honest, it was kinda surreal until that moment, scrolling through my Instagram feed and seeing all the posts that held my book. Very humbling and encouraging.

Because of all the amazing people, I wanted to take a moment and just share their posts and allow you to smile at the beautiful pictures, because oh. My. GOODNESS were some of the pictures lovely.

🌼🌼COVER REVEAL!!!!🌼🌼 . 🌺 You guys, today is the cover reveal for my friend Amie Woleslagle’s book Fifteen! Amie and I know each other through #theyoungwritersworkshop and even though I haven’t gotten to know Amie super well yet, she is really cool person and an amazing writer. 🌺 Now, can we just take a moment to stare in awe at that cover that @graphics_by_gracie designed? Y’all I was absolutely stunned when I first got to see it. 😍 🌺 And now about Fifteen! Fifteen is a poetry book dealing with mental health, and comes from Amie’s own journey with mental health. When I first read part of Fifteen, I actually didn’t realize that it was about mental health, but was touched by the amount of heart and vulnerability Amie wrote it with. It is a beautiful book. Thankfully, I don’t struggle with mental health, but it was still touching to read and see what it is like for others. I also have the full blurb in the comments, so make sure you read it! 🌺 Fifteen is available for preorder right now and there are some awesome preorder goodies if you buy the paperback copy of Fifteen! If you want the links for preordering and the preorder goodies, you can find them in @writingamieanne bio, or just message me! 🌺 Happy Cover Reveal Amie!!!

Cover reveal!!! I’ve always loved poetry that portrays the truths of human struggles and fears, and that is just what @writingamieanne does in her poetry collection “Fifteen” which is available for pre-order now! “Fifteen” is a poetry book about struggles with mental illness. Amie’s poems are gorgeous, touching, and true. I cannot wait to dive all the way into Amie’s beautiful book, #fifteenpoetry! P.S. If you preorder a paperback copy of “Fifteen” Amie has some bookish goodies awaiting you. 😉 Check out the link in her bio for more information on pre-orders, or message me! Blurb: You’re not the only person who struggles with mental health issues, not the only person with demons floating in your mind. Amie Woleslagle wrote Fifteen because she deals with them as well. Not to fix your pain, but to reach out and hold your hand. To remind you that you are not alone, to ask you to stay and make the world a better place. Because the world will never be the same without you and your unique take on life. Fifteen is a book of poems crafted from one teenager dealing with mental health issues to another teenager in the same place. It walks through the battle of pretending to be okay, of having people you thought were trustworthy shatter your heart, and the battle of not giving in when your brain has given up. Fifteen covers true friendships, embracing joy, self acceptance, and living your faith while struggling with mental illness, all the while showing that, in the end, flowers will bloom in the ashes of your pain.

Hello my friends! I am so honored to be part of the cover reveal for the lovely @writingamieanne's new book "Fifteen"! Fifteen is a beautiful collection of poems.

As a bonus the illustrations are so whismical and absolutely perfect! — And the reason for this post today – the cover! *squeals and flails* Isn't it so absolutely stunning? I love every aspect of it, especially the colors. It is as beautiful as inside as it is outside! — Fifteen releases this fall, so be sure to check out Amie's account @writingamieanne for more info about the book and how to buy it.

So today has been pretty magical… aside from six hours of health and safety training. 🤦‍♀️ That was only magical when I transformed into Harry Potter for a while. I digress. BUT… getting to see my little book baby along side some of my favourite authors in an epic giveaway was surreal?! 😭*cue happy bawling* Without the help and support of stunning author friends (can I call you friends even though Covid keeps me away from hug-tacking you?), I never would have even made it to publication. So it’s time to give back! . . My lovely cohost @rablackauthor.co (who has a fancy new profile pic name?! What?) introduced me to this lovely young poet named @writingamieanne who happens to have a stunning cover that was revealed today. Magical all around!! Like really?? Could this be any more bookstagramable?! Congrats Amie! Can’t wait to see what’s coming down the literary pipe for you! . . Here is her beautiful summary: . . You’re not alone.

✨ IT'S COVER REVEAL DAY FOR @writingamieanne!!! (SWIPE TO SEE A GORG COVER!!) ✨ Today is highly emotional for me because I am just so DANG PROUD OF THIS GIRL! She's one of my writing mentee's and seeing her come so far has been–a breathtaking journey that she walks with such grace and poise. 😍 ✨ I had the honor of reading an ARC of her upcoming poetry book, "FIFTEEN" and can I just say that it's just as pretty inside as the cover? Because it is! I mean, look at that cover y'all!! STUNNING! One of my top favorite covers! 🤩 One thing you may not know about me is that I have written over 400 pages of poety and post them on my tumblr (link in the bio!), but I also happen to be very picky about what type of poetry I like—and FIFTEEN checked all the boxes! ✨ Amie's poetry is as heartwrenching as it is beautiful and authentic! Amie writes from a raw and vulnerable place as she explores the world of mental health through her prose. I cried, felt heard, and seen reading her words and gosh, Amie, you make this author proud. 💜 ✨ FIFTEEN drops October 2020 and Amie just happens to be one of our guests appearing on @the_hope_prose_podcast this fall! 😱 So look forward to that and follow her and the official podcast instagram for more details! In the mean time, here's a little blurb to tease your palete until FIFTEEN's release! ✨ Fifteen is a book of poems crafted from one teenager dealing with mental health issues to another.

*is so honored by this post*

I wish I had all the stories from Tuesday, but I only took a screen shot of one, because I as fangirling so hard. (Nadine Brandes, Shannon Dittemoore, and Ashley Townsend all had very beautiful stories as well, and those are the ones I really wish I had pictures of.)

It was such an unbelievable day. People also wrote some blog posts about the cover reveal.

Maya at Maya Joelle did a beautiful post here.

Carolyn at Words that Speak interview me and posted about the cover reveal here.

Kaelyn at Kaelyn’s life has enthusiasm that I definitely need. XD I loved her beautiful post that you can read here.

I was honored to have Jana at Reviews from the Stacks join the tour. You can read her post here.

My sweet friend, Juliet Artman, wrote this very sweet email to her email list, which you can join here.

I have truly been blown away by how much you guys have done to support me in the journey. I never dreamed that the cover reveal day would have so many participants, or that in the days that I followed my little book would be ranking #2 (for a short time, lol) in Young Adult Poetry eBooks, or that it would be ranking #1 in Christian poetry.

• 

• 

I never wanted to release my poems to the world, but God often calls us to do things we don’t want to do. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 says, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.”

That basically sums up my feelings about Fifteen.

If you want to pre-order the ebook, you can do so by going here or if you would prefer to pre-order a paperback, you can go here.

IF you pre-order a paperback, you can get pre-order goodies here. And let me tell you, the pre-order goodies are stinking adorable, in my personal opinion. So you don’t want to miss out on those. (Plus, you get an extra poem that’s not in the book with the pre-order goodies!)

Again, thank you guys so much for being here through thick and thin. I definitely wouldn’t be here without my little blog that started out as Crazy A. 😉
