My publisher, Revell, surprised me with this first page of Tidewater Bride on social media yesterday. It’s fun to see it again after being away from the novel since last summer. How I wish I could come to it fresh again like a first-time reader. It’s truly a story of my heart for so many reasons. And I hope you’ll …
Today I happily turned in the pages of Tidewater Bride, my last look at the book before it goes to print. January 5th will be here before we know it! I hope you enjoy reading this novel as much as I enjoyed writing it. Now if only I could time-travel back to the 17th-century and meet some of those characters …
I’m awaiting the final pages for Tidewater Bride, a last review/reading before the book goes to print. My last visit to Jamestown was solo on an overcast spring day. Solo research trips are one of the most wonderful things on earth! I took these pictures, including the statue of Pocahontas, a historical heroine of mine since childhood. But who was …

SO happy to share novel eleven with you! Here are my cover thoughts from my newsletter… I love the up-close image of Tessa Swan, our heroine. She has a simple beauty and strength. I asked that her hair be messy and those dangling strings of her cap be left untied. In the novel, our hero says her pale cap is …
I’ve been mostly offline lately working on novel 12 before galleys of An Uncommon Woman {#11} land on my desk any minute now. Here are a few elements from the recent cover shoot including Lindsey, the model. Love the strength and character in her features. Revell is known for their cover art & so the cover countdown begins:) Hope you’re …
My favorite time of year in the publishing world is titling and cover art. The best book titles should be intriguing and true to the novel. For novel 11, An Uncommon Woman even has a poetic ring and works well for historical fiction. I hope you like it, too! Next comes cover art. I’ve ‘met’ the striking model from her portfolio …
