Love in a Carry-On Bag, the debut novel by Sadeqa Johnson will be available March 2012. Cover design by Mary Brown.“A hot story deserves a hot cover.” That is what ran through my mind when Sadeqa Johnson approached me for this project. After reading the first 50 pages of the manuscript, I was hooked. It was an exciting challenge to depict the whole story in one glimpse of a cover. It’s finally done now, but the project is not finished. I’ve been working on the interior pages and they’re finally layed-out. It won’t be long until it’s off to printing. Believe me, it was difficult not to read as I was flowing text and formatting pages, but I did my best to resist. Of course, I’m waiting for the finished signed copy.
It’s the story of a long-distance relationship between Erica Shaw and Warren Prince. She is an ambitious publicity manager for a publishing company in New York City. He is a Washington D.C. computer engineer by day and a “sexy-lipped” trumpet player by night. There are a lot of weekend trips on Amtrak but the question is, how long can their love endure the distance? I don’t know, but I can’t wait to read the finished book for the answer.
Look for it in March 2012. Oh, and for the e-book converts, that format will be available too.
Mary, you really have been getting some great projects. That cover has your signature all one. So Mary Brown.
And note to self, have someone describe me as sexy lipped ASAP…
Tafari thanks! I'm sure you'll get that title soon. LOL!
How exciting!!! Very nice. I love your work!
Hey Toya! Thanks so much for the support. It is pretty exciting.
I'm looking forward for its release. Especially the ebook copies!
The characters in the story sounds interesting and will make a great plot. I wonder how would they turn out in the end. I will get my own copy!
