Sneak peek at ML Tyndall’s January release

MaryLu Tyndall is a fabulously entertaining author and a lovely lady to boot! Here’s a peek at her January, 2010 release, The Raven Saint ~ I think it’s her best cover yet 🙂

When Grace Westcott is kidnapped by a French mercenary, tossed aboard his ship, and told she will be sold to a Spanish Don in Columbia, she cannot imagine what she has done to deserve such a horrid fate.

Breathe by Lisa Tawn Bergren

Devastated by the loss of four sons to tuberculosis and his wife in childbirth, a Philadelphia patriarch sends his three living children west in 1883 to make a new life in the clean mountain air of Colorado Springs.

Special Character Spotlight ~ Lisa McKay’s Cori

Today the spotlight shines on……………………Cori

Lisa McKay’s 2007 novel, My Hands Came Away Red, is one of the most moving and beautifully written stories I have read. If you haven’t read this book, I encourage you to do so without delay, whether you are a teen or an adult 🙂

Lisa has been kind enough to share about her main character, Aussie girl Cori, and we have added pictures of how we imagined the rest of her missions team to look!

For those of you have read this story, we’d love to know what you think!

Enjoy:~
