I'm excited to finally reveal the cover
for Swim Season! I chose to reveal it
today because this is the first day of my daughter Allison's 2014
swim season at Mount Saint Mary College. This is an exciting time for
our family. Allie has been swimming competitively since 2006 and swim
practice and swim meets are a big part of our lives. She's my
inspiration for this novel, and she's been helping out along the way
explaining the fine details of swimming. She also helped pick out the
cover photo. The deeper I get into this story and my heroine Aerin the
more I see how much the girl on the cover is "her." Much thanks goes out
to cover artist Heather McCorkle for all her hard work. I'd love to
hear your comments. Please send them to mariannesciucco@gmail.com.
My latest word count is 60,488! Last week I went on a writing blitz and
cranked out over 2,000 words, finishing the scene at the football
game. I also dug up more drama for Aerin and her teammates as "mean
girl" Jordan's boyfriend is injured during the game, making Jordan
meaner than usual. This player's injury gives Aerin something to think
about as she continues to downplay her abilities and competitiveness as a
swimmer. The next big scene is the dance, and I have a feeling that's
going to be fun to write.
