TESSA BOOK BIRTHDAY and RE-NEW COVER REVEAL
Blog tour hosted by Bird’s Nest Books.
“When
you pretend to be something you’re not, it always finds you out.”
“Don’t ever be ashamed of who you are. Don’t ever, for anyone, hide your
true self. Know your true self,
and shine like God made you to be.”
Today, I’m celebrating my debut
novel’s fourth birthday. A brief word of explanation— Tessa, has a double
birthday; at the prompting and with the help of a friend, I first released her
in early March 2014, but for Kindle only. I quickly learned the value of having
print copies, and with the help of that same friend (who did all the formatting
for me) I released and had all the celebration in October.
Tessa’s official book birthday is
31 October, which is fitting for the story—she assumed an identity not her own,
thus “wearing a mask.”
ABOUT THE BOOK
One mother. Two daughters. One favorite.
One not.
When Cassie Barclay is presented
with an opportunity – or is it a curse – she jumps at the chance. She takes on a new life, her sister’s life,
and although at first, it holds appeal and promise, she soon realizes sometimes
the fairy tale is tainted.
Assuming the name of Tessa, Cassie
moves into the life that was her sister’s, and faces first one realization then
another, one disappointment after another. Stepping into Connie’s life does not
automatically grant her all that Connie had or was. But it does deny all that
she had and was as Cassie. As herself.
Just when she believes her life is
on an even keel, something comes along to ripple the waters and remind her of
her secret. Until the day she gets a phone call that rips her world apart. Who
is the mysterious caller? And who knows her secret?
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
“I’ve always had voices—er, stories
in my head. I once said I should write them all down so someone could write
them someday. I had no idea at the time that someone was me!” Ms. Mason has seven novels, Tessa, Clara Bess, and Cissy, in
the unsavory heritage series, and The
Long Shadows of Summer, The Tilting
Leaves of Autumn, The Silent Song of
Winter, and The Whispering Winds of

Amazon, both for Kindle and in print. She also has several poems included in an anthology, Where Dreams and Visions Live (Anthologies of the Heart Book 1) by Mary Blowers, as well as a short story, Sarafina’s Light, also

story in her new series, FourSquare, to release next year.

EVOLUTION OF A
COVER
dat first cover doh…
RE-NEW COVER REVEAL
‘Dat first cover’ was my uneducated and oblivious
attempt at cover design. The second try
captured the essence I wanted, but didn’t convey well to the second and third
books in the series. Number three was professionally done, but as lovely as it
is, I still didn’t love it. I took the design back into my hands last year with
the fourth cover, but it was missing something. Now, for Tessa’s birthday, she
has a stunning new look!
Isn’t she gorgeous!!
