Making Lemonade

First, the good news.

I have a new novel coming out soon! Yay! It’s a classic, full-length, Regency, Lizzy-and-Darcy novel, with sidekicks and bad guys and more than a dash of adventure and romance. I’ve been working on this for nearly two years, and I’m thrilled it’s finally ready to greet the world. My beta readers have loved it, and I hope you will too.

Now, the bad news.

I went to my cover artist to ask her to work her usual magic, and she told me (sniff sniff) that she was closing down that part of her business. She recommended someone else, and I’ll certainly speak to that person for the rest of my mystery series. But now, whatever was I do to?

But there’s more good news.

I decided that this was a great opportunity to strike out in a new direction and try something completely different. I was chatting about this with my daughter, who is an artist and who knows her way around a graphics program, and she asked if she could try some idea.

Of course, I told her. Have fun.

I don’t know what I expected, but it wasn’t this! Wow, but she’s designed a beautiful cover. It’s classy, it’s classic, it’s elegant, it’s oh-so-romantic, and I love it. I love it so much, she’s doing to redo my whole historical romance collection, so there’ll be new covers for that whole set soon. I can’t wait to show that to you.

What does this new cover look like? Feast your eyes on this brand-new look, gracing the cover of my upcoming release, Pride and Pursuit.
