 What exactly is a book launch team? And furthermore, how do you launch a book?
Well, I'm glad you asked. Think of it as a birth. A baby coming into the world. Fresh and new. Most times with a cry. And of course, with (adoring) parents. And grandparents. And siblings. And a host of friends and family who are waiting with bated breath for the delivery. Do they keep it to themselves? Of course not. It's a time to rejoice and share the news with others!

It's time to reveal the cover of The Heart Changer! I think the process involved in creating an image to suit a story will fascinate you. So, stick with me and be patient, okay? 
An alleyway in historic downtown Charleston, SC
This week, while the frigid winds blow across Lake Michigan, I'm taking a writer's retreat in one of my favorite US cities - Charleston. Full of history from the early colonial period to the Civil War (and a Revolution in-between), this place has much to be proud of, especially if one is Scottish, Protestant, understands agriculture, and cherishes tradition. During the 18th and 19th centuries, French Huguenots and those of Jewish heritage fled here because it protected their freedom of religion. They still worship in impressive numbers right here in town.
Our path up to the ledge in Derbyshire, England, where Jane Eyre (Ruth Wilson) collapsed and sobbed in the 2008 version of the film.
I love a good writing prompt. But sometimes, I fight them. Mostly because the memories of my past have faded far too fast. So, I began to use the prompts to remind myself of my adventurous childhood. In fact, it was when my almost-one-hundred-year-old mother passed away in 2008, I began my writer’s journey.
