aka, No Publisher for Linda

I thought I had attracted the attention of a publisher, but it was simply not meant to be. She had a series of family emergencies and then seemingly disappeared off the map. After quite a few months without any contact from her in addition to numerous reader queries, I believe it is time to head back to San Diego and as Paul Harvey used to say, ‘the rest of the story’. I’m not particularly good at marketing, but I need to try since you have been so patiently waiting!

The publisher in question told me when we first met that I had a horrible cover for my first book; how I wish I had asked her to explain! Since a lot of the next book takes place in the desert of San Diego county, I’m thinking of simplifying this one and using a landscape of the area for it’s cover. If I give you a preview, will you tell me what you think? My editor and I are going back through the manuscript one last time as I write this, so you should see it in print soon.

So without further ado, here is the tentative first draft of my new cover. Feel free to leave a reply on this post, drop me a line through Author@LindaLaughlin.com or on the form of my Contact page and tell me your opinion.

Happy reading, Linda
