Well I’m at that stage where the manuscript is going through the final edits and the book cover is being designed. Oh how I wish I could be there to watch them do it. This picture is the first concept for The Family Farm, which we all didn’t think the model suited. So they went back and found Danielle, who is now on the cover of The Family Farm, and is so much more suited to be Izzy. Her hair wasn’t the perfect colour to the character in the book, but she had the spunk we were after.
I have just had an email with some pictures of a model for the next book…Heart of Gold (I think is the name we are going with). I was so excited to be included and gave my opinions! I’m not too fussed, as long as the overall end product is appealing. For example, I was over the moon with the cover of The Family Farm. After all it had my name all over it…what’s not to like!! I loved the wheat on the front too. So hopefully for the second book we will have a great shearing picture of some sort with the model in the shearing clothes I sent over.
If anyone has any questions or want to know more about this, please feel free to email me.
Just wanted to say I cannot wait to read Heart Of Gold and see it’s cover

Rach!
I can’t wait to see the end result either! Love hearing about it. How bloody exciting!!!!!
So GLAD you went with Danielle. The whole picture exudes confidence and ‘spunk’. A gorgeous cover. Can’t wait to see the new one. With a title like Heart of Gold, it’s sure to be a winner.
Thanks Rach, Karly and Margareta! I am sooo excited. Karly i can’t wait to see yours too. I love rural book covers!!
