It was my first time last month as well Emily. For your first time I suggest that you look at what every one else is posting and see if you want to use any of those, then look at the lists on GR (there's a best romantic suspense list) and then there's always google. Which i used for the north carolina book.

Oh and I'm finding putting your books into GR a great help particularly for cover challenges.
