Sporting a little less cleavage and a cool new blurb from Bertrice Small, I received the FINAL final art for the cover of my novel being published this August by Berkley/Penguin.

The full Bertrice Small blurb reads like this:
"A splendid novel of passion and danger in the early Virginias by a talented new author. I highly recommend it."

Also, news that my second book, THE TORY WIDOW, will be published in April of 2009, and they are beginning work on the cover.

How cool is that? :hooray:

Congrats! It looks great. :)

Anybody, um...got a shot of the "more" cleavage cover....? Purely in the interest of comparative artistry. Aesthetics and all that don'tcha know. Yeah, that's the ticket....

;)

Great cover! Plus, I'm a huge midwifery advocate-so I'm pretty much guaranteed to read anything with "midwife" in the title ;-)

I can't imagine how it must feel to see all the work put into a book come together under a polished and beautiful cover like that. Congratulations!

Very cool! Congratulations! (Have to admit I first thought the sentence meant *you* had decided to sport less cleavage :)

Sounds like a great book, thought so when I first started reading your posts. Much good luck!

Every time I look at the subject line on this thread, I think that what the cover really needs is ...

... more cowbell.
