  1. Hi Mindy:

    Let me be the first to comment on your new release cover art! No people. I think that is very rare and would love to know how it works. The last time I saw a LI with a no people cover was Ruth's "Mended Hearts" way back in 2011.

    Yours is a beautiful cover that really sells the setting. I wonder what everyone else will think about it. Maybe Ruth can tell us what the reaction to "Mended Hearts" was back then.

  2. Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone!

    Vince, that's an interesting observation about Mindy's new book. I think a few of hers have had scenery covers rather than people, but it's rare.

    Hubby is working today, so it's a writing day for me. We did our Saturday things yesterday. :-) See you all next week!

  4. I am waving hello to all o' youse from North Carolina... and heading back to the farm today after enjoying a weekend of dancing and tennis... Doesn't that sound SUBLIME???

    I wasn't dancing.

    Perish the thought.

    My granddaughters were dancing and they're lovely!

    Nor was I playing tennis although I love the sport.

    I was watching my grandson in a tennis tournament.

    But still sublime!

    Now back to writing work and farm work and pestering people in WNY because that's what I do.

    I pester.

    Wishing you all a blessed and thought-filled Memorial Day weekend. We begin tomorrow by meeting for our small town's Memorial Day parade so we don't forget the reason for the day off... and then the ceremony at the town gazebo.

    We want those kids to understand that this isn't just any ordinary day to run around in a sprinkler and eat Popsicles...

    It's a sacred day of remembrance.

    I'll take any excuse to pray for our beloved country that I can get!

    Sent with love...

    Ruthy
