What I didn't know at the time, was that my publisher, Thomas & Mercer, was going to tweak the cover. So, now I get to do a second cover reveal post! I also didn’t know that the launch date was going to change, and that I would have the cove Read more of this blog post »

“from author and historian Washington Irving (1783–1859): There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief ... and unspeakable love.”
