Coming in mid 2013 from Thomas Nelson

Bringing you some more cover love – this time from Thomas Nelson!

Check out their mid 2013 releases ready for the North American summer and my Australian winter.

Were you an avid reader as a child?

I loved to read as a child. I read because I wanted to read, not because someone else needed to encourage it. I read Nancy Drew and Cherry Ames. I loved the horse stories. My first story was A Horse Named Willy and dad still has it …
