Book covers

As an Author, did you get to choose what the covers looked like on your books? And also I wanted to say that I LOVE how things ended in the Alice series especially when it turned out Alice was became the author and every time I read where she reunited with Patrick and they fell in love again or when they found the time capsule my heart just leaped! I love how you’re realistic in your writing and I love how you made Alice marry her childhood sweetheart because to me as a young woman is the best kind of love story. I also liked seeing how those two acted as parents. I’ve laughed with Alice and cried with her and I know I’ll just turn right back to the first page. 💌

I’m so glad that you liked the series. Things did not always go perfectly for Alice–she faced a number of difficult events and decisions in her life, but that’s how life is for many of us.  Some of us get a much bigger helping of sorrow than others, but that makes the good things all the sweeter.  I usually was content to let the illustrators read the manuscript and decide what scene or idea they wanted to communicate with their drawings or photographs.  Naturally, I liked some better than others.  Sometimes I was shown a sketch ahead of time to comment about, or several different photographs, and could choose the one I liked best.
