New Title... New Look...

What an exciting day this has been! I received a copy of the cover art for (what used to be called Pemberley's Promise) my book, Darcy's Voyage, which is being published by Sourcebooks and due out in September. If you can't see it in the picture, I'll tell you what it says. I am really happy with the wording. At the top in the blue it says, "Praise for Kara Louise" and then below that, "Unique and fun. I couldn't put it down." Above the title it says, "A Tale of Uncharted Love on the Open Seas." Below the title it says, "Pride and Prejudice retold." Needless to say, it's started to really sink in today that soon my book will be for sale not only online, but in real brick and mortar stores!


What about the inside? What changes are there? No plot changes at all. The only big cuts were in repeating dialogue from "Pride and Prejudice" except what changed because of the events in the book. There was also some good editing where I tend to get too wordy or parts that didn't add in any way to the story. So if you already own "Pemberley's Promise" you won't miss out on anything from "Darcy's Voyage" if you don't buy it. But then, I certainly won't stop you if you want to buy this one, too!


Whether you own the "original" or decide to buy this one, I hope you like the cover, the title, but most of all, the story of Elizabeth and Darcy meeting aboard the ship, Pemberley's Promise.
