Thank you, HollyMerry Author Icon!
Feedback please! I’m trying to decide if this painting is good enough to include on the cover for my third fantasy novel.

If you used your painting as shown, how would it compare to the previous two novels? If it would be of similar quality, then I think it would be fine. If it compares unfavorably, you may want to commission the cover. Just a thought.
To thank all the wonderful members of WDC who have given me happiness by sharing their work and reviewing my writing, this Easter I'm giving you the chance to get a free Amazon Kindle copy of 'Jane Austen's Easter'. The eBook will be free from the 15th to the 17th of April on Amazon.

Back when your book was new for Nook on Barnes & Noble, I bought it with a little discount. Now, I just bought it again in paperback from Amazon. I think I will pass the Kobo and Google Play versions up. I hope that is okay. *Laugh*
Congratulations on being published! I hope you have it listed in both places here. *Smile*
BOOK RELEASE!
I'm delighted to announce the publication of my latest book, 'Jane Austen's Easter'. You can see some draft chapters in my WDC portfolio. Thank you to all my lovely WDC friends for their critique on my work. My greatest thanks go to fellow Jane Austen fan Princess Megan Rose who suggested the idea of the book with a prompt asking how Jane Austen might have celebrated Easter,

Inspired by Jane Austen’s letters and novels, and the history of Easter in Britain, this book transports you to a spring day in the Regency era. Discover how Jane Austen would have viewed Easter as the daughter of a clergyman, the Easter traditions familiar to her, what was popular to wear and eat at Easter, and how Jane Austen and the characters she writes about might have spent their time over Easter.
Full of activities and ideas of things to make and do inspired by Easter in the Regency era, this book is perfect for anyone hoping to hold a Jane Austen themed Easter party.
Lavishly illustrated throughout.

Thanks for the praise but praise goes to you for this Jane Austen's Easter. Best wishes. I can't wait to read it.
Oh, I remember that prompt. I wrote something for that a long time ago. I do like that prompt. CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING PUBLISHED!!! *Delight* Make sure you post to the (at least) 2 places on WdC where the published writers can post a link to their work.

My wonderful WDC friend Princess Megan Rose has written an exciting Frozen adventure story based on a comment I made about there being a shrunken Olaf in one of her portfolio pictures. Here’s a link to the story:
