I was wondering what to do about the covers.... 🙂

Thank you! I have fun and keep learning. Fortunately, Amazon and other sites allow me to retouch my covers as my skills improve, and post the improved versions.!

Right! You are very fortunate to be able to do both. I think the kindest thing to say of me is, uh, my talents lie in other areas. If I could do a cover like The Cowboy and the Heiress, I certainly would.

I want it so bad. But I really have nothing to fit it.

It was a friend of mine, author Elda Minger, who commented on the importance of a cover making an emotional connection with the reader. That seems so obvious to me now, although I do see some books (by other people) selling well with covers that don't touch me at all. I guess we're all different.

Not mine. Her's The writing is mine. The covers are Jane's. She has one that makes me want to write a story to fit the cover: http://1standingstone.com/products-page/bookcovers/city-blues/
I'm dying for this cover but I have nothing that fits it, darn it and I'm too backed up to even thing about asking for it because it would be years before I got to it..
