I don’t spend a lot of time on PInterest but I was over there recently when this lovely image floated by. Be still my historical heart! So I pinned this pin and gave thanks for another beautiful Dutch cover. I was in the Netherlands years ago and have never forgotten it so this delights me. It even has the look of a painting, dare I say by the Dutch masters? Yes, I’m that smitten! Thanks to my Dutch publisher, KOK, and designer, Mark Hesseling, for a cover that made my jaw drop at first look! For non-Dutch speakers, the title is The Destination of Elisabeth which fits so well with the story. I am a fan of headless heroines as they leave much to the reader’s imagination. I also love the inclusion of one of Colonial Williamsburg’s most beautiful buildings, the color of the dress with that lacy sleeve, and the way our heroine is touching her necklace. Not to mention the lovely font and scrolling design…
The first review is in for The Lacemaker! I cannot thank Melissa Parcel and RT Reviews enough for this beauty. I always hold my breath as those first reviews roll in. I do believe this is my most romantic novel yet (sorry, Morrow!), and I hope you find it so, too. Had to hand you something that gives you all the feels after that very historical, not-too-many-kisses A Moonbow Night! Love how this new review is worded. Makes me want to read my own book!
Only 39 more days till release!

I totally agree about the “headless heroines”. I love imagining your characters, not having an image given to me. Both covers are beautiful.
Dear Jeanne, Glad I’m not the only one who likes our heroines left to the imagination! Thanks for being here and appreciating both covers. Happily, I now have my wish for a bit of Colonial Williamsburg on a cover. The Governor’s Palace opens the novel so it fits very well!
Your Book Cover Image remind me of my need never to see a picture, Movie oe Depiction of Jesus I love to leave that to the anticipation of seeing Him Face to face!!!!
Yet another very valid reason to hide those faces! I’m almost always disappointed then I can’t imagine them and then, like in movies, the characters I’ve loved in books never match up either. Cannot wait till we see HIM face to face yet. As the years go by that means more and more!
“Sorry Morrow”???
Oh my, WELL, this promises to be fabulous if you’re already apologizing to Morrow!
Also, RS is feeling slightly stung that you left him out. He told me. Sort of. In my dreams… 😉
Chuckling:) Red Shirt IS feeling slighted yet he remains THE MAN! At least in your and my neck of the woods!!
Bring on the history and the romance! Love it all…especially the way you skillfully weave it all together ❤️.
Stacey, Thank you for this! I was thinking of you this morning when one of your beautiful Scripture cards spoke especially to me. Thank you, thank you!!
I can’t wait to read The Lacemaker, Laura.
And to think it takes place in my neighborhood. Fun!
Dear Janet, You are one of the most blessed women I know! How I’d love to move near you :). Then we could actually have tea, tour the triangle, and talk all things colonial. Someday, maybe. Hope you and your precious family have a wonderful Christmas!
