For those of you who may have noticed, I'm trying to get organized (don't laugh too hard) and put series books in order with covers that relate. This also means changing titles so they're recognizable as a series. The four contemporary romances I variously called the Carolina series or the McCloud Brothers have now become the Carolina Magnolias. To the left there is my schoolteacher with the purple-streaked hair in the book formerly called
Impossible Dreams and now re-titled
Dixie Rebel.
To the right is her sister, the ex-con who now owns a hardware store on an island off the Carolina coast. Formerly called
Almost Perfect, I tried to keep close to the original title because it was so fitting, so she's now
Imperfect Rebel.
If I can make this formatting work, below should be the new cover of
McCloud's Woman, a title I always despised. This is the Hollywood producer who has worked darned hard to get where she is, and she's not anyone's woman except her own. But she does have a rebellious streak a mile wide, as do all these ladies--hence the Rebel titles. She now goes under
Rebel Charm.
And last, but certainly not least, is
Carolina Rebel, previously titled
Carolina Girl (another hated title), starring
my rebellious unemployed banker who is currently living in a trailer park with her accident-prone sister. Aurora is not a small woman, nor is she one to take guff from anybody. She does, unfortunately, have an ability to open her mouth a little too often. Until she wins a million dollars....
There they are, four great ladies with covers that reflect their best and worst best traits! What do you think?
