Sundays in Scotland
I'm starting something new at GerriRussell.net. Each Sunday I am going to take you to Scotland. I'll use some of the blogs I posted while I visited there last summer, and I'll add new things.

New Cover!
One of the most exciting things in an author's writing life is seeing their new cover for the first time. The email arrives. The picture is attached. You open the attachment. Wait for the image to reveal itself from the top to the bottom. Your heart's in your throat. Your fists are tightly clenched. Finally, you breathe.
It's perfect.

Want More Love With Your Lost Symbol?
"Want more love with your Lost Symbol? Order To Tempt a Knight by Gerri Russell a Brotherhood of the Scottish Templars romance." That's what my publisher, Dorchester Publishing, posted on Twitter today. At first I laughed, then I smiled.
