An Updated Cover and Some Praise

My cover has a little bit of a new look. The orchard is greener, and the "Proper Romance" seal is at the top with some more color to make it stand out. What do you think?

I also got the go-ahead from my publisher to share some praise for Edenbrooke. These quotes will appear on the back cover of the book.


"A heart-pounding love story. I couldn't stop turning the pages until I finished it. A must-read for all romantics!"
—Mary Mull, wife of New York Times bestselling author Brandon Mull
"Edenbrooke is so much more than a page-turning tale of love and intrigue. It's the kind of book you read time and time again and recommend to everyone."
—Kodi Wright, wife of New York Times bestselling author Jason F. Wright
"Edenbrooke combines charming characters and a lovely setting for a delightful read. It was hard to put down!" 
—Lynette Dashner, wife of New York Times bestselling author James Dashner


Some people have asked why my publisher asked the wives of NYTimes Bestsellers to give quotes--why not authors themselves? Well, this is clearly a book written for women, and the fact is, Shadow Mountain does not have any female bestselling authors on its list. I'm excited that they grouped me with their bestsellers, and I am dreaming big that I will someday make it on that list myself.

In other news, the release date for Edenbrooke has been bumped up from April to the beginning of March. So we're down to about seven weeks until it hits the shelves! I simply can't wait. As we get closer to the release, I'll be announcing stuff like a launch party and book signings and I will also show you the amazing book trailer for it. Should we make a paper chain and count down together? I don't know if I can stand it--I'm just so excited!!

So here's my question for you: what day of the week would be the best evening for a launch party?
