I recently sold a 12 book series to Pelican Book Group. The flowers of the year. So over the next three weeks I will show you the amazing covers that Nicola Martinez, graphic artist and editor in chief of Pelican Books made for the series. The whole series is planned for release in 2015
Violets in February
Carnations in January
Grace Chadwick receives a surprise inheritance
from her aunt—a house and a florist shop. Not knowing the first thing about
flowers, she moves in after the funeral. She sees this as the new start she
needs.
Elliott Wallac lives next door. He does the
neighborly thing and calls in with a casserole, only to find the house next
door has problems. Damp walls and a sagging floor set his builders senses on
alert.
When a huge storm drops a tree on the house, it
reveals a rotten foundation. Can Elliot rebuild the house and Grace’s shattered
faith, or are both condemned?
Violets in February
When uptight missionary, Lucy Boyd is injured
her only ride to the hospital 200 miles away is the scary looking guy who
delivers their supplies every two weeks.
Not only is he scary, he's obviously quite heathen based on the heavy
metal music blasting from his truck when he pulls into the compound, the
earring in his ear, and his salty language.
Jed Gorman doesn't like people, especially
Christians. Shuttled from foster home to
foster home after the death of his parents, he's had enough "Christian
Charity" to last a lifetime. The
last thing he needs is that uptight missionary woman as a passenger. But when
he sees that her knee is the size of a football he can't say no. It's going to
be a rough ride, his truck is old, the monsoon season has hit and there are
guerrillas in the jungle...
Daffodils in March
Only given a week’s notice in her current job, Eden
Jameson is desperately looking for something new. Being a nanny for her best
friend and sister in law, Hanna, is the ideal solution to both their problems.
David Painter has other ideas. Having a
stranger in the house could ruin everything he’s worked so long to achieve. He
needs to get rid of this nanny and fast.
When Hanna dies unexpectedly, the reading of
the will is a shock—Eden and David have been left joint custody of the baby and
joint ownership of the house. Can they overcome their differences or is it too
late?
Sweet Peas in April
Adam West, a high powered lawyer gets the shock
of his life when he arrives to meet a new client— she’s the wife he hasn’t seen
since they separated when he left her ten years ago.
Sam Reece doesn’t need the added complication
of working with her husband. She’s tried hard to put her failed marriage behind
her, going back to her maiden name even though they never got divorced. The
situation is bad enough as it is, but it seems Adam is the only person who can
help.
Can they ever move past the tragedy of the past
or will its long shadow prevent them ever working together?
come back next week for the next four covers.
