My book is out everywhere! Or sort of. I'm going to see if I can embed the cover here. If not, it's on the Buy pages. :)
Buy the book now from Bell Bridge Books. Buy the Kindle version from Amazon.

Gorgeous, evocative cover. Congrats!
Thanks, Anne! It was great getting a box of the books.
Has anyone framed bookcovers? I think that might be fun.
Alicia
Or put the entire book in one of those shadow box frames!
A huge CONGRATS, Alicia! How exciting - right down to your fingertips and toes ... I'm off to see if I can purchase on my Kindle in Australia :)
Alicia---I LOVE your cover! The story sounds really great. I can't wait to read it.
I think this is my favorite of all your covers. It really looks like Cathy to me.
