Cover!

Today's blog post was going to be about What Not To Wear at RWA National...but that topic is going to have to wait, because I just got my cover art for The Sergeant's Lady!


Isn't it lovely? I'm extremely pleased with how it turned out. I think it's romantic, atmospheric, and in tune with the mood of the story.

Squeee!!! And also, whew. Of all the things that impact a reader's first impression of a book, the cover is the biggest piece that the author has the least control over. I'm overjoyed to be getting one that IMHO fits so well. I wasn't too worried, because I've been very impressed with Carina's cover art to date, but I'm glad that The Sergeant's Lady is no exception.

  10. You don't even have to have an eReader, Edie! You can buy it as a PDF from Carina or get a free Kindle app for your PC, Mac, or iPhone and buy it from the Kindle Store.
