Thanks, Shannon...I'm just finding my way around this blog while getting ready for the launch of "A Race to Splendor" April 5th and a big press party on April 17th, the eve of the 105th annniversary of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and firestorm...I love the cover, too...the publisher went through about 7 iterations until everyone was happy, and now I'd say we're all delirious with it!  Wouldn't you like to buy that yellow chiffon dress? I'm trying to find out where they got it for the photo shoot....I'll check out your blog!
