It seems appropriate that on this Labor Day I am updating you on my most recent labor of love. I am pleased to show you a near-final version of the front cover of my soon to be published novel, My Hope Secured: Love and Loss on the Oregon Frontier.
I might revise this cover slightly, but it is getting very close to being done.
The background design on this cover is from an 1847 oil painting by Thomas Cole, called Home in the Woods.
Cole was one of the Hudson River School of landscape painters, and this painting is not of Oregon. But it depicts a log cabin similar to those where I envision my characters living. For more about the artist and this painting, click here.
I had originally thought I would design a cover using an Albert Bierstadt painting of Mount Hood, which is an Oregon icon. But Mount Hood is not featured in my novel, and the log cabins of the characters most certainly are.
I’m excited to be this close to publishing My Hope Secured. I’ve introduced some new characters in this novel whom I really like, and I hope readers will like them, too.
My Hope Secured should be available for purchase by Thanksgiving, and possibly earlier in November. Readers of this blog will be among the first to know when it is published.
