Finally, Friday: Before and After blurbs, Part II

Good Friday morning, all!

I hope you had a productive week! Mine was a bit over-the-top, actually.

We wrapped up Phase 1 of my website remodel.

My web doctor got the basic framework in place then transferred the site to a new server. I asked her to keep things simple so I can do updates myself. The best news is: she fixed my blog! I can upload photos again, which is a BIG deal for me. I love being able to share photos of what’s happening in Debland. 😉

We took a stroll along the Merced River Canyon on Sunday. Lots of icy water in the river and wild flowers galore.

Remember last week, when I shared the information about the blurb-writing webinar? Well, thanks to that class and some great feedback, I managed to tweak the blurb for THAT COWBOY’S FOREVER FAMILY and upload to all vendors for sale.

Here’s the final version and my new cover. What do you think?

Life can change in an instant. The same amount of time it takes for a bullet to kill.
Ranch foreman Tom Butler loved his ex-wife enough to let her go when ambition lured her to L.A., but he never stopped loving their two daughters. His rustic lifestyle in the Central Valley added light years to the distance between them until the day tragedy struck. Tom may not be the dad his daughters know, but he’ll do anything for his family—even ask for help from a beautiful stranger.
Victims advocate Abby Davis’s life needs a major overhaul–just not the kind her newly single boss has in mind. On the verge of quitting, she meets Angela and Heather Butler–and their father. She can’t turn her back on two brokenhearted children and their beleaguered father, but can she do her job without losing her heart in the process?
That Cowboy’s Forever Family is Book 6 in the West Coast Happily-Ever-After series. If you’re a fan of deeply emotional stories that make you smile through your tears, then you can’t miss Debra Salonen’s cowboy dad, his brave little girls and the woman they were meant to love.
Buy That Cowboy’s Forever Family to escape into a warm, happy place where love thrives.

(THAT COWBOY’S FOREVER FAMILY is available on preorder: BUY /releasing wide April 3).


And here is the BEFORE and AFTER version of my blurb for Forever and Ever, By George. I think this cover is one of my favorites!

Even the dog knows the importance of happily-ever-after.

This weekend we’re celebrating my son’s birthday and hosting a “Meet and Greet” for a friend who is running for County Supervisor of our District. That sounds like more socialization than I normally see in a month. Wish me luck!
