New Cover and a New book

Several days ago, I got my new cover for my Oct release, Fresh-Start Ranch. It's beautiful...and looks like New Mexico.

I also got wonderful news from my agent. I sold a WWII novel to B&N Publishing. I am so excited. The Last Forgiveness takes place in Amsterdam, 1941. The heroine's fiance betrays her family to the Nazis for hiding her father's Jewish partner. She escapes and runs into the arms of an American journalist. He helps her escape by marrying her. The book is about how she survives the war and deals with her grief and anger.

More of BEA

Pat MacDonald and I, who both write for Love Inspired, went to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Pat took the New York skyline from the camera built into her phone. (I need to get one of those.) The second picture is in a little park near the Woolworths Building. And it was cool that day. 65 degrees. If you're from Texas, you don't bring winter things on a trip when it's close to 100 at home.

I spent a week in New York going to the BEA. I signed my most react book, Redemption Ranch.

These wonderful flowers were give to me by my husband. We celebrated 41st anniversary.

Last Day of April

These are some of my last Iris. The peony is now bloom. I hope to get to them before the ants.
