One of the most exciting parts of getting a book published is seeing the cover that the publisher’s art department creates to represent your story. I really like the cover for my new book releasing in February. The girl looks like Adriane in the book and I love the city backdrop. The story is set in 1855 Louisville and I …
Lynwood Montell & Ann at a Gathering of Authors “There is nothing better than the encouragement of a good friend.” (Katharine Butler Hathaway) It’s not been my easiest summer with Mom needing so much extra care and with that deadline I had to chase with the Shaker book I was writing that didn’t seem to want to end. I did …
I tried to post this on my Facebook author page today, but Facebook is not liking me lately. So I said whatever, I’ll just share it with my journaling friends. Okay, take a good look at the picture to the left. Then scroll down and take a good look at my cover. The first picture here on the left is …
At church this morning, I got a nice compliment from a friend. Well, actually a couple of nice comments. One, she said she’d finished my book, Angel Sister in the wee hours of the morning. True, she does have trouble sleeping sometimes, but at least I didn’t put her to sleep. But before she told me that she looked over …
A writer spends a lot of time alone with her keyboard. Well, not exactly alone. She’s surrounded by characters. Sometimes those characters are chatty and ready to get on with their stories, and other times, the characters are obstinate as old mules in going through the gate of an author’s story.

I’ve got one up right now with Favorite PASTimes, a blog that focuses on historical fiction and the writers behind the stories. They’ve got quite the line up of authors who make regular …
For a writer, when your book is finally out there for the public to read is a time to savor. The reward for all those days sitting in front of the computer trying to force words out of your brain and wondering if the story would ever get told. It’s the bonus for waiting through the year as your book …
“History is nothing but a series of stories, whether it be world history or family history.” (Bill Mooney & David Holt in The Storyteller’s Guide) ~~ My book, Angel Sister, is about a family with four sisters – sort of. You’ll have to read the story to find out what I mean. But here are the first four sisters – …
It’s finally here. Angel Sister‘s official release date is Tuesday, February 1. I haven’t been bookstore hopping so don’t know if it’s out there yet, but I’m hoping it is. It’s somewhere because my editor let me know the book has already gone into a second printing. That’s exciting! But I’m already so excited about this book finally being out …
