Bethany House Cover Art & Book News ~ mid 2019

I know you’ve been hearing crickets a little around here lately. Sorry about that! My middle daughter graduated from high school (we work on a calendar year here), so we have had Muck Up Day, Valedictory Dinner, and she now in the middle of her final exams. It’s been a busy few weeks. I’ll soon be back to regular programming! I don’t usually post on a weekend but with so many pretties from Bethany House, coming to readers everywhere in mid 2019, I couldn’t resist!

Time is still short, so I won’t go into detail with these suffice to say …

Cover Reveal: Jessica Kate’s Love and Other Mistakes

I love supporting new authors and even better when they are Australian! So much fun to be part of the cover reveal for Jessica Katie’s debut novel – a romantic comedy, Love and Other Mistakes. It’s hard getting a publishing contract in the CBA these days, and extra hard if you aren’t American, so much kudos to Jessica for signing with Thomas Nelson. You will have to wait until July next year to get your hands on this novel, but doesn’t it look fun? Rom coms seem to be making a bit of a comeback in the literary world – …

A Peek Inside The Man He Never Was by James L. Rubart

A peek inside James Rubart’s latest novel? Yes, please! Well, I’ve already had the pleasure of reading this one…and all of Jim’s backlist…and I recommend each and every story to you.

They are perfect books if you are looking for any book club selections and Novel Journey Book Club (my club!) have discussed many a Rubart novel and they have always generated much chatter and ongoing pondering!

Here’s the lowdown on Jim!

James L. Rubart is 28 years …

Cover Reveal: Carla Laureano’s Starstruck

I’m all about cover reveals this week! And what a beauty this one is from the fabulous Carla Laureano. Carla’s contemporary romances are super smart, engaging, and delicious and I highly recommend you get your hands on all of them! I met Carla back in 2013 when she was a debut author and what a treat it was to learn about her passion for writing, romance, and black belts 😉 I’ve read every one of her romance novels, including her upcoming February release, Brunch at Bittersweet Cafe, and I recommend each one!
