The
Queen of Emerald Falls
by
J.J. DiBenedetto
Genre:
Romantic Comedy
She's
spontaneous, passionate and has a habit of mangling the English
language.
He's
calm and controlled and always has the perfect thing to say in every
situation.
If
their differing personalities were the only obstacle, they'd probably
have smooth sailing. Unfortunately, things aren't that simple in the
town of Emerald Falls, and life keeps throwing curveballs at Sheryl
Jones and Dr. Jon Hardy.
If
they're going to find true love, they'll have to deal with Sheryl's
archenemy trying to destroy her business, and Jon's interfering
brother showing up to try and ruin his life. And then there's the
vindictive daughter of the richest man in town, not to mention a
stolen vintage Rolls Royce.
Can
this star-crossed couple fight their way past all the obstacles and
make their way back to each other without losing their jobs, their
sanity or going bankrupt in the meantime?
Romantic
comedy fans will love this quirky mix of "How I Met Your Mother"
and a daytime soap opera.
Author Question:
Who designed your book covers?
The cover for “The Queen of Emerald Falls” was designed by
Rachel Rossano (www.rachelrossano.com),
who’s an author in her own right as well as a talented designer.
I initially worked with her to redesign the covers for
another series of mine, the Jane Barnaby Adventures, and she did an amazing
job, so I went to her again for this book.
I’m thrilled with her work, and what makes her really great
to work with is, since she’s an author herself, she already knows what readers
are looking for and how to create an original design that also fits what
readers are looking for in each genre.
Another reason the covers are so good is that I didn’t really
direct her, which is a lesson I learned with my very first book. I worked with a very talented artist who
hand-painted the cover to my specifications, and it was beautiful…and totally
not right for the genre or reader expectations.
It was a hard lesson but a valuable one!
