A New Cover For A New Path by @KaraONealAuthor #RomanceGems

Y'all...

I love my husband. I married a cross between Jim Halpert, Mr. Darcy and Captain America. And that is quite a mixture, let me tell you. 

Oh, and he's a graphic designer turned art teacher.

He's my prince charming. I would soooo go into a sleeping curse or get locked in a tower just so he could save me. That would not be a hardship. I wouldn't even be scared.


He's my hero, and he's helping me save my books...

I told y'all in my last post that my publisher went out of business and that I've started the process of self-publishing. That means I need to design covers. Oh, joy!

But lucky me, I married an artist!



The prelude, Saving Sarah, has been re-published and is now available. And I couldn't have done it without my husband. He designed the cover.

I'm very excited about this because each book in the series is going to have a similar look. Each of my heroines reminds me of a particular flower and this is going to be featured on the covers.

The Dogwood Tree blooms flowers of a variety of colors, but I prefer the white. The petals are delicate and are a special symbol of the crucifixion of Christ. They grow in many places in the U.S., and they have always been a favorite of mine. I love the legend behind this tree. Its beautiful story is why I chose this flower as the one to represent my brave heroine, Sarah.


And coincidentally, Saving Sarah takes place in North Carolina, and the Dogwood Tree just happens to be their state flower. Weird, huh?

This cover is a beautiful representation of elements of the book. I'm so lucky I have such talented husband.




Here is the PERFECT and LOVELY cover!!!!!




About Saving Sarah:

Sarah Kerry's world is shattered when a man from her past, Liam Devlin, shows up with proof that, if shared, would send her father to the noose. In order to keep Liam quiet, she must break her young courtship with Michael Lonnigan and marry Liam instead.

Michael is crushed and angry when Sarah abruptly ends their courtship, but he knows something isn't right. He's seen the new man hanging around the Kerry family and believes the man is blackmailing the woman Michael loves. Unwilling to let her go, Michael will do whatever it takes to save Sarah and make her his own.

  1. Congratulations on your hero and covers. Cool flower idea. Your book is just what I like, the bad guy vs the good one to get the woman he loves. Happy sales.
