E + W - Closer Still

Bite me! :)I am SO unbelievably proud to share this! 
We got back from the coast yesterday (on holiday at the moment) and swung past the post office to pick it up. I haven't stopped smiling since!
This has been a couple of months in the making and I've been dying to share it, but had to keep it under wraps for obvious reasons. Now that it's out there and I have the book, I can share to my proud heart's content!

Being a huge (massive unashamed fan-girl!) Vampire Diaries fan myself, this was an amazing experience and honor for me. It's hard to explain what it feels like to see one of your photographs on the cover of a book. And when it's a book by an internationally known writer with a MASSIVE TV series as part of her work... words fail. I'm SO incredibly blessed to get this opportunity!  I was absolutely dumbstruck when I got the mail that it's a series by L.J. Smith and I couldn't stop gushing. I should thank Lynne from Hachette for being so patient with me
