The cover contest is officially closed and Amazon cards have been mailed out:) Thanks, too, to those of you who asked for the cover to be enlarged to see the details.

Some author friends of mine took a cruise together recently and it sounded heavenly! And I'm SO excited about the photo cards! You do such beautiful ones. I mailed my last Roxie card out recently and felt bereft - only I saved one in my Colonel's Lady scrapbook for keeps. I imagine I'll be looking at it when I'm old and gray and glad I did! You have a book coming to help you when the time comes. And many, many thanks ahead of time!!<br /><br />I hope you have lots of photos to add to your beautiful online album/pages/photo journal you're keeping. That will be a keepsake. Thanks so much for stopping. And I'm just singing that you like the cover:) Thanks for the official thumbs up!!Laura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607797015497924515.post-57654281596003713212012-02-28T09:46:44.839-08:002012-02-28T09:46:44.839-08:00My Dearest Laura,

I already have an idea of what it is going to look like on the photo card as soon as I can get my hands on the book!! I am so excited for you and for us!! The swaying of the palm prees, the Bahama sunshine and all the laughs I had on my cruise is the best medicine you could ever swallow!

Yo...Oh Marta, I so needed your encouragement today. You just don't know how this blesses me:) I especially love how you worded the faith and rivers - such a lovely thought. When readers are like you, the writing is easy. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, too! September does seem a long ways off. I've often wished I could publish 2 or more books a year. I think I move at a snail's pace! So happy you love the cover. Brandon Hill and Revell really outdid themselves this time. Just when I thought they couldn't improve on Roxie's cover - they did!<br /><br />I'm really touched you took time here today. Like I said, the Lord knew I needed your gracious words.

Looking forward to spring breaks, and taking my sister to look at colleges, for a sophomore she has her college major and minor locked in.

Oh my goodness, it's a long time until September.<br />I have just completed the last of the other books and stand in awe of you as a Christian author. Your faith flows through your writing as the Kentucky rivers you write about. I am truly thankful that you share the gift that God has blessed you with, as you have blessed my heart with Lael, Morrow and Roxie. <br />Thank you from the bottom of my heart.Martanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607797015497924515.post-83251344930297952432012-02-27T13:36:08.700-08:002012-02-27T13:36:08.700-08:00Carissa, You are one blessed woman!

And I love that I know who she is and where she's from, something I haven't been privy to with my other cover models. I often wonder if they read the books they pose for!

I do think this cover strikes a somber tone and with good reason! Even the title carries a bit of a warning. By now most readers know my books aren't light and some people shy from that. Sometimes I wish I wrote lighter! It will be interesting to see what tone your debut novel strikes. I love discovering new authors and figuring out their brand, so to speak;)Laura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607797015497924515.post-39352102282688788422012-02-25T09:23:02.251-08:002012-02-25T09:23:02.251-08:00Oh Laura, I'm thrilled.
