CRICKET'S MOON IS RELEASED!


It's been a hard last few months. I wrote two whole books, on top of the two that had been accepted by Awe-Struck, and have another to finish.




But in the middle of all this, Mundania Publishing bought out first Awe-Struck eBooks, and the Hard Shell Word Factory -- both of whom published my ebooks. It was a surprise, but a good one. I've met the guys who own Mundania and have the utmost respect for them.




So when CRICKET'S MOON was released July 10 and the cover didn't quite fit the book, the editor and art director came up with a revised cover.




In the middle of all this the internet company that I have been subscribed to since April, 1997 (!) lost the server that I was on. In all the adjustments I had to go through, there were learning curves and a few words I don't usually use were muttered.




And during those two days, the Art Director was trying to get the revised cover to me. (I hope I have been forgiven for still being needlessly upset.)




The new cover is only GORGEOUS! Probably the best cover I've had so far, in my 26 years of being a published romance writer.




The book is about a heroine who spends her last dollar to buy a lottery ticket, fully knowing that her family frowns on gambling. I hope it makes readers think about what they would do -- and what they can do -- to change the world around them.
