I loved reading what you saw and felt looking at the cover, both front and back. It is inspiring. You saw the feeling we were trying to convey. Thank you for taking the time and energy to relay those thoughts to us. It means the world, believe me. It was a labor of love and I'm thrilled beyond words that it touched your heart. The cover had lots to live up to as the story is so fantastic. It will touch your heart even more. <br /><br />Wasn't the excerpt a touching a lovely scene! I enjoy reading about some of the good times that happened with John and his father, even if John felt a bit bad at first. His father understood him and that was worth a fortune. It speaks of the wonderful man we all know John will become. I can just see it all happening.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, Mary.Janet Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01904728146256943042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-8770410635410989792018-08-10T19:13:18.933-05:002018-08-10T19:13:18.933-05:00I am definitely going to read this book.

The young and inquisitive John,the child as father of the man he was to become.<br /><br />Congrats to all concerned for this interesting and intriguing cover. It was obviously a labour of love,one which has touched potential readers' hearts. <br />Best of luck with your new book,Nicole!

I texted her as soon as I read your blog even though it was after midnight! :) Thank you for the excerpt with the endearing exchange between John & his father. It’s bittersweet knowing what ultimately happens when poor George is gone. The cover is wonderful and conveys how supportive they are of one another through thick & thin. The back cover is a lovely surprise and very touching. I enjoy your stories very much Nicole. No Such Luck is definitely one my faves! I mean John & Margaret coincidentally on the same ship for days on end...what’s not to love! :) ~SandraNestof4https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422061146538868516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-52214931519580505722018-08-04T22:33:57.722-05:002018-08-04T22:33:57.722-05:00Thank you, Luthien!

If you haven't read all of Nicole's N&S variations, I highly recommend them. I'm glad you like the cover and the pose on the back cover. I especially wanted that scene to have John's hand on Margaret's face when he kissed her forehead.
