From the catalog copy: With her signature sweeping style and ability to bring the distant past to vivid life, Laura Frantz beckons readers to join her in a land of Indian ambushes, conflicting loyalties, and a tentative love that meanders like a cool mountain stream. Pre-order links: Amazon, CBD, Barnes&Noble I truly have stars in my eyes over this cover, …
Cover reveal almost here…!
Recently I saw the final cover for A Moonbow Night. Revell’s art team incorporated several key elements of the story into the artistic design. Before I saw the final, I was sent the one photo of my heroine approved by the team. It’s a stunning shot. There’s Tempe Tucker, clad in homespun, a very simple garment on the 18th-century frontier. …
Kentucky girl
It’s with a lot of joy that I share these new author images with you. A bit of Kentucky for this Kentucky girl. I’m ready to part with that very pink promo shot made in Monterey with the blooming bougainvillea of five years ago. I’ve shed a foot …
Nashville venue…
I’m so excited to take part in this first ever, long awaited event in Nashville! No, don’t have a clue what I’ll be speaking about yet but I’m praying about the message and cannot wait to connect with readers and other authors but primarily DEAR READING FRIENDS! There’s always been something of a disconnect between my writing a book and …
April Bookshelves…
Happy spring to you! Now that the redbud and dogwood are blooming, I’m often in my loft office working. The galleys for A Moonbow Night landed on my desk recently so I’m busy with those, the second to the last step before print. This new Kentucke novel …
Spring
Happy Spring! I can’t believe it’s almost April. We were snowed in much of January and February, so March has been a welcome change. I began the first weekend of spring by speaking about “The Search for Authenticity” in writing and really enjoyed it. I’ll soon be in Nashville, Indianapolis, Seattle and other parts which is fun as I love …
Cover Art
Cover art update! The designer for A MOONBOW NIGHT is John Hamilton Design. Gotta love a designer who even reads the book! He created THE COLONEL’S LADY cover and also the other novels shown here, two personal favorites. I must confess to liking some of my covers better than others. Each designer is unique. Some are very private and I …
A new book title for you!
Naming a book is a wee bit like naming a baby. You hope to get it write – right! While I was writing away on this new Kentucke novel that opens in the spring of 1777, I called it Moonbow Inn. But for historical purists, inns were referred to as ‘ordinarys’ in the 18th-century so the working title wasn’t historically …
Snowed in!
I think this looks very Lael-like. For those of you who remember The Frontiersman’s Daughter, I’m thinking of that beloved character and her cabin in the Kentucke woods as the snow falls today. I woke up early (thankfully not to milk the cow or gather wood!) but to move our car down the hill by the gate. It’s nearly impossible …
