I want to thank the over 1200 people who expressed an interest in my just-published War Story. Perhaps I'm biased, but I think it's a good yarn. The cover, however, shows what readers can expect and has received many favorable comments for which my designer and I thank you.

I've known my designer a long time, since her birth, in fact. Since she's my daughter, I guess that's not surprising. She has many talents, but I didn't realize what an excellent designer she is. For War Story, I was thinking of a cover with American and Nazi flags with garish red and black backgrounds.

She tactfully pointed out that the novel was about people, not flags. The library of congress has hundreds of thousands of copyright-free photos available, so I rooted through the World War II ones and found images that depicted the book's four main characters. Cory (short for Coralyn) used them for the cover.

If you have any comments about the cover, I'll pass them on.
