I’m pretty proud for keeping this cover to myself for as long as I have. My usual inclination is to share it right away, but I wanted to get a couple more things lined up beforehand.
Like writing the blurb!
And choosing a release date!
So without further ado, here’s my lovely cover for Waking Roslyn.
A lady whose life is being threatened.
A servant who’s been trained to protect.
Will that be enough?
Lady Roslyn just wants to go home, but home is where her political rivals want her dead.
Sent away for her own protection, she’s spent four years keeping her head down and longing for the day it will be safe to return. When she relocates to Bridgefield, she finds a place and people who accept her as she is and make her feel safe—most especially the manor’s groundskeeper, John. Not only can he protect her, but he can teach her how to protect herself.
When lessons in self-defense turn into whispered confessions and an ever-growing attachment, Roslyn’s desire to go home wanes as John starts to feel like her real home. Yet choosing him could mean never seeing her family again.
John would do anything for Roslyn, but trusting in their shared affection when she is so far above him in station is a risk when falling for her could put her life in further danger.
When Roslyn is called back home, John has to let her go. Yet his worry remains. Are her parents right in thinking the threat is passed, or will she be walking into danger?
A story about overcoming prejudice and choosing love, this deeply romantic Sleeping Beauty retelling highlights the joy of finding someone you can rely on and choosing them above all else.
What do you think? Do you like the cover? Are you intrigued by the blurb?
I’m so excited for John to FINALLY get his story. He’s been with me since Saving Marilee and I’ve grown to really adore him.
Now for something different. I’ve decided to offer developmental critique services to fellow writers! I’ve been critiquing for years, and after doing quite a few full-manuscript developmental critiques lately, I decided this was something I’d like to add to my business.
I’m a huge proponent of getting as much feedback on my work as possible. There’s so much that goes into story writing and it’s impossible to see all the small inconsistencies and plot holes on our own. I also know how difficult it is to find people who have developed that particular skill set. Being able to not only identity problems, but then to articulate them AND offer helpful suggestions is a learned art. It’s taken me a long time and a lot of practice to get good at it. Hopefully some authors out there will be willing to take a chance on me, and a big thank you to those who already have!
