Covers

This coming week, the LadyKillers tackle the topic of "Covers." Remember when they protected a book's physical pages from life's vicissitudes? Now they hang in virtual marketplaces, just one of the data points that helps a customer decide which book to download. Or maybe you are a reader who likes to take cover from a hectic day by diving into a book. Or a writer covering up the killer until the very end. Whatever your take, join us for the conversation this week!

Looking forward to Vicki's newest book that involves a little discussed part of American history but one I learned much more about in Canada: the fugitives from the revolution know as the United Empire Loyalists. Her blog should be a treat.
