Piazzas and squares and my front cover!
Here is the front cover of Crossing paths and I am so happy with it.

The photo is a wonderful shot of St Marks Square Venice, which although it doesn't feature in the novel, the photograph itself brings to mind so much of what I wanted it to convey: people - by themselves, in groups, intersecting, brushing past each other and of course crossing paths.
Although my main character Jane never goes to Venice she does visit three wonderful piazzas and several squares. The main square is Omonoia Square in Athens and two smaller unnamed squares in Paris and Verona.
She also visits three famous piazzas - Piazza della Signoria in Florence, Piazza delle Erbe in Verona and Piazza San Carlo in Turin.
Here's to Italy and Mary Celeste Press!

Fiction AND Reality
I will shortly be mixing the two when I begin releasing 18 of the 52 books that appear in "Crossing Paths: the BookCrossing Novel"
http://marycelestepress.com/books_Pro...
at the Sydney BookCrossing Unconvention next weekend on Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd October.
Generally when I release a BookCrossing book,I either write a short review or type up the blurb on the back. This time I will be mentioning in the (real life) journal entry that this is one of 52 books in "Crossing Paths" and below I will copy the (fictional) journal entry for that book from the novel.
It should be fun and I love this sort of a challenge. My next? To possibly release five copies of "Where Angels Fear to Tread" in the courtyard near Juliet's Balcony in Verona. Life imitating Art.
