A Cover is Worth a Thousand Words!

I'm so excited!

My editor sent me a jpeg of the cover for THE COLDWATER WARM HEARTS CLUB. I couldn't be more thrilled. (Neither could she! She confessed that she had framed the cover and it's on her desk!) Here it is:


The art department at Kensington has outdone themselves. They perfectly captured the feeling of Coldwater Cove, my favorite imaginary hometown. It's a wonderful little place nestled by green hills and bordered on the east by Lake Jewel, whose bracing, spring fed depths gives the town its name. There's a charming Victorian courthouse in the middle of the Town Square. Folks take pride in their homes and lawns and flags fly each Fourth of July. 

As far as the people who live there goes, Coldwater Cove is a cross between Mayberry and Lake Woebegone. My heroine's father fights a never ending battle with the squirrels in his yard. Even though most folks have internet access, the nosy, but well-meaning, Methodist Prayer Chain is still the best means of spreading information. And you never know when the raucous Bugtussle clan will rattle into town in their decades old truck. 

The book won't be out until April 2016, but I've posted the first chapter for you already. Click here to follow Lacy Evans as she learns what it means to go home again...

Enjoy!

How about you? Have you ever moved back to a place you've lived before? (I've done that twice!) Or have you pretty much stayed put?
