Reading your own work after a few weeks or months is always a humbling experience. I wonder if anyone ever thinks that what they wrote is "good enough" or if you always see places it could be improved. Even when the story line is strong--and I think it is in Kind Lies --I re-read it this morning and thought of a half-dozen additional chapters I could have added. It is a good thing I have #2 in the works!

I know we always hear that you can't judge a book by its cover, but as an author, the cover matters. It is the first thing you see, the one that will draw you in. I love that this cover captures the integral part the water plays in this story, and the peaceful harbor juxtaposed with the lightning fits so well with the tension between the two words in the title.
