I&#8217;m so happy with the way it turned out, especially after I hired my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiannaweaver.com\/\">talented friend Tianna<\/a> to do the typography for me. What do you think? Did you know that I have some design experience (I was in charge of layout for several small newspapers in a past life), and that I designed the cover for my first book, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/a.co\/d\/gE3v1j1\">A Brilliant Convergence? <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you love cozy mysteries, Victorian female sleuth mysteries, low spice enemies to lovers romances, and holiday historical novels, this one is for you! I&#8217;ve spent the past year falling in love with Winifred Osbourne and Lord Benjamin Hadleigh, and I hope you will too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stay tuned for a full synopsis, and save the date! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Surprise!
