The cover designer is more important that the actual cover. I have a friend who has been a professional designer for 25+ years.
About a year ago I found a photo that I loved of a scene in the book and she designed about 15 variations with that and threw in one extra (when I asked). The problem with the beautiful photo was that it was really a panorama. It looked great spread over front and back cover but wasn't going to look like that on the ebook.
When I saw the 'extra' - the eventual cover, I just thought - that's it. The silhouette was one of several. I liked the one that looked a little messy and not quite all together.
Then I let supporters on my closed 'storytellerchristine' group on Facebook vote. Eventually they chose the blue one too. (less)

Top 10 (but again only 9) reads 2025

2025 is the ninth year that I’ve kept a file on my top ten Christian reads for the year. You can follow my reviews on Goodreads or BookBub. Sadly, once again, I felt that only nine books were worthy of being mentioned. I hope for more good books next year.

I continued to read quite a few Biblical-era fiction authors because this is the genre of the series I am currently writing (and will be for som

This book suffers with a 100+ year timeline. Not an easy book to write. It is also difficult because we only know a little about Miriam from the Bible and most of the time Moses is the central character.

Quotes by Christine Dillon  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“It would be great if Jesus could just be a useful model of how to live with some wise teachings he could apply in his life. But that wasn’t an option, not based on what he’d read so far. Jesus demanded all or nothing. Paul didn’t want to give all, yet was equally afraid to ignore what he’d learned.”
Christine Dillon, Grace Beneath the Frost

“because there really isn’t much of a difference between Christians and non-Christians,”
Christine Dillon, Grace in Strange Disguise

“I’d love you to pray for eyes to see opportunities and courage to grab them.” “I wouldn’t have thought you needed such prayers.” “Every believer needs the same things. Even Paul asked the believers to pray for him to have boldness. After all, our enemy uses fear as one of his favourite weapons to prevent us doing God’s work.”
Christine Dillon, Grace in Strange Disguise
