Big surprise reveal!! :)

It's a double post day!

Okay, everyone!! Finally! I’m ready to reveal the super-secret surprise! :) I was waiting until more details firmed up and while I’m not going to give a date just yet, I WILL tell you why I’ve been bouncing up and down for the past couple of weeks. It has been torture not to share, but I wanted to be one hundred percent sure I could make it before I spilled the news.

So, here we go…

Sometime very soon, I am headed to New England for the photo shoot for the four covers for Canterwood Crest! I’m BEYOND (there will be lots of capitalized words, sorry) excited and the best part is that I’ll be sharing the trip with you via Diary of a Debut Author videos! Yep, I’ll be taking photos and video of some behind the scenes stuff and will share what I can without giving away spoilers. I should be able to make a video when I get into town and will keep you guys updated via blogging when I can get online. It’s going to be an insane day and I can’t wait! (There may also be video from the car when, after 17 hours of driving, I just need to ramble. Okay?)

I’m already obsessing about this. What will the models look like? Will the horse be calm? Will it be warm outside? Windy? See…questions, questions.

As a typical girly girl, I’ve been trying to figure out THE outfit for the photo shoot. I’ll be meeting Agent A and Editor K (major excitement!) for the first time and I want to find an outfit that conveys: professional, fun, fresh, young and serious all in one. Yeah, try to find clothes that scream all five of those things. It’s not easy. I’ve been in and out of my closet practically every day since I got the news about this and am still not settled on the right clothes. I’ll try to get a pic of the outfit I’ve decided on. If I ever decide. :)

There you have it! I’ll keep updating about this when I can and I hope you guys are as excited as I am. And no, even though several people were convinced Paris Hilton was coming along on this trip and we were new BFFs that’s just not the case. But your guesses were close. ;)

Happy Friday!

Very cool, Jess!
And if you've never been at a photo shoot before, just a tip. Dress simply, dress comfortably. It could be a very long day. (But I know you will LOVE every moment.)

Good point. Better to be comfortable than not. :) I'll keep that in mind.

Have fun!!! Okay, I think I did guess photo shoot in one of my answers.

17 hours in the car is a LONG time. Be safe and careful. I actually like driving long distances myself, but it's definitely tiring.

Very excited to see the videos!

I believe you did guess that, Em. :)

My family is going since we're going to turn it into a vacation and visit family and friends on the way up. Otherwise, I'd fly since I'd get sooo lost driving that far! LOL

Oh well, family vacation sounds fun. Plus, more people to drive is always a plus.

Yay! That's so exciting!

Let's see, what to wear. Probably not a suit, right? But not jeans? Oh, I don't know. Good luck! Have fun!

I'm thinking maybe a suit jacket with jeans. Maybe. :)

I don't know why I'm picturing an outfit with a brown suede flared skirt and a white fitted longsleeve top -- with comfortable shoes, of course, since you'll be around horses.

Anyways, good luck in your trip preparations! Sounds like a lot of fun. :)

Comfortable shoes are definitely a must. Warmth is key too since we'll be outside all day.
