Coming soon from Tyndale House

More book cover love, this time from Tyndale in the form of three January e-books and some mid 2013 paperback releases! I’m very excited about this lineup – I can’t wait to read Jolina’s retelling of one of my favourite books, Wil Mara, Michele Phoenix and Rene Gutteridge stories sound fabulous, Mel is a favourite of mine, and I really enjoyed Pam’s first novel!

What are your thoughts on these ones ~ story, cover art, anything?
