New Poetry Books: Want to Help Pick My Next Cover?

-
Over the last few weeks, we've had a lot going on in the world. I hope you all are staying safe and healthy! I'm sure adjusting to working from home, helping your kiddos with schoolwork, and trying to find some peace and quiet has been strenuous, some of you might be looking at your bookshelves and checking out your online ebooks.

Writing has been difficult of late with so many things occurring in my world including the start of a new job, the loss of my father, and now COVID-19. As I've attempted to readjust to what's happening in the world myself, I've been trying to take more time, recently, to read and write. I've found some amazing Indie authors: Julia Ash, Ami J. Sanghvi, J. Clark, J.D. Hart, and a new one by Shannon Greenland. Such great writers, and such a lovely way to pass the time!

My writing time has included working on my three poetry books and second Christian Historical book in my The Four Chronicles series. It's been rewarding and insightful as I work through them and take time to get to know my characters once again. It's a lovely escape.

In that frame of mind, I'd like to introduce to you the new cover of my next poetry book, a sneak peek, and release date of Broken Hearts Can Still Love.



"Broken Hearts Can Still Love is a poetry collection of first dates, missed opportunities, lost loves, the love/hate/happiness/pain of falling in love, and the realization of being strong enough on your own. More importantly, it's about discovering who you are and what your voice is in this world of fakers, ghosters, and straight-up harassers.



This collection primarily shares confessional, contemporary poetry for those who find strength in being who God created them to be."



Poetry Sneak Peek: 


I really hope you give Broken Hearts Can Still Love a try! There are 100 poems within this collection. The release date is scheduled for April, and I will update you soon with more information. If you'd like to be a part of my ARC Team, you can receive an advanced ebook copy of Broken Hearts Can Still Love with the hope that you will leave an honest review via Amazon and/or Goodreads.

Now, I'd love your assistance in finding my next cover. I have another poetry collection being written and put together right now. It's titled He Delivers Me. 


"This is a contemporary, prayerful, conversational, praise-like collection that exhibits a wide array of experiences, personal connections, fears, faith, hope, and expectations in my relationship with the Lord. It's an attempt to share a personal side with the world on how God helps me through the darkest moments, and my relationship with Jesus keeps me moving forward."


Here are the four cover choices for He Delivers Me. I'd love your feedback on which one you think matches the description and fits with the overall collection. I included a few redheaded covers to help with the continuity of the covers through these poetry collections (since I'm a redhead).😉


Which one would you pick up and read?

A. Redhead Looking to the Side


B. Redhead Lying on Ground


 C. Redhead Drinking Tea


D. The Night Sky


Please respond with your choice by indicating the letter above the picture you prefer, and thanks for helping me pick my next book cover!!😍




Thanks for joining me, and as always, Happy Reading!!

It's All Going Downhill From Here: Spy School Goes South by Stuart Gibbs

Another one? Yes. I know what you're thinking. Becky, you just wrote about this dude last week. You reviewed his The Last Musketeer book. Did you seriously just read another one of his books? I did. Indeed, I did. Last week, I told you, I can't help but enjoy Stuart Gibb's light-hearted books . His characters and stories are fun and fast reads. They have a little of something for everyone, and for a few minutes, you totally forget that they're about thirteen-year-olds and geared toward that age range. Why? Because the mysteries are engaging. The characters are silly. The plots are clean, and it's nice to read something for fun without being drowned in anything too serious or upsetting. His characters are sweet. The plots are enjoyable and easy to get through. It's peaceful reading at its finest, and family fun for all. You always know the mystery will be solved, the characters will make it out alive, and it takes me back to my own childhood and my love of

My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George

As you may have noticed, I'm a fan of reading a plethora of genres. Throughout this willingness to take on new reading experiences, I find myself drawn to books that others share with me as well. When a friend mentions a book that he or she has loved, especially from their childhood, I find myself wanting to read the book. This is such a case as the one with My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George . When I was told that this book represented a large part of my friend's childhood, I was intrigued. I wondered how this book, read repeatedly throughout the years, could have impacted my new friend. Curiosity led me to pick up my own copy and find out more about this novel starring a young boy who wanted to live off in the country all by himself.   Jean Craighead George passed away in 2012, and up until the end, she did what she loved doing best: writing books. She finished her last novel about four days before she died. That book, The Cougar of Flat Creek , as we
