Cover Art: Coming soon from Thomas Nelson

I’m really pleased that publishers are now making it a priority for their authors to be the first to release their new covers ~ seems just the way it should be. For that reason, you may have already seen many of these but I think it is still good to have them in the one spot so you can peruse them at your leisure…I hope!

A book character that sticks in my mind is… Why?

Mr. Darcy. Okay, maybe I’m thinking Colin Firth from the BBC/A&E miniseries, but he fit my mental image from the book so closely that I fell in love. I adore those strong, silent men trying their best to act honorably.

The last book that made me cry was…
