Big news, y’all!
Sometime last year, I submitted my memoir to AllAuthor for a book cover contest. Having forgotten about it, I was pleasantly surprised by an email from them stating, “Country Perks and Grit has been selected as a contender in the Cover of the Month contest for March 2025!”
My cover (design by Dawn LeGros and photography by yours truly) made it through round one, ranking #16 out of 138 contenders! People I don’t even know are voting for it!
We need to make it past this second round (currently #13 out of 100 contenders) to have a shot at the finals.
I’d love your support by voting. It takes just a few minutes, and you’d be helping a book designer and humble country story get some well-deserved recognition.

Christmas and I are absolutely thrilled by the positive response to Country Perks and Grit!
Thanks to your FAN-TASTIC support, it skyrocketed in two categories: #1 New Release and #1 Best Seller.
For those who haven’t had the chance to dive into the pages yet, Christmas, Norman (the big lovable guy on the cover), and other friendly (and not so friendly) animals play a role in this true story . . . plus the man who planted over one thousand trees.
But here’s where we need your help.
Amazon’s algorithm is a bit of a stickler and requires a minimum of 10 reviews to give a book a boost. Although we have 6 five-star ratings, we’re 5 reviews away from hitting that magic number!
So, if you could spare a few minutes to click the link here and leave a KIND Amazon review, it would mean the world to us. One or two sentences is all that’s needed.
Thank you in advance from the bottom of our book-loving hearts,
Christmas,
Norman,
Dianne,
and the man who planted over one thousand trees.
P.S.: Add this tip to those already in the book: Don’t let sheep get too close to a book. They’ll leave their mark on the cover! I guess ink has a nice flavor!
A book launch is an exciting event, but it can also be overwhelming. As authors, we hope everyone who hears about our book will purchase it (after all, e-books are less than a cup of coffee), read it, love it, write a kind review, share it, talk it up, and even re-read it. One can’t do this with a cup of coffee!
If you are an author or creative artist, you can relate to this sentiment. Most importantly, you appreciate the desire to create something valuable, impactful, and inspiring. Therefore, marketing can feel unfamiliar and downright uncomfortable for many of us.
We aim to offer hope, a touch of kindness, and guidance based on our experiences and/or education, rather than focus on sales.
While writing Country Perks and Grit, I wanted to leave a lasting family legacy, and offer hope to others that they too can step out of their comfort zones in pursuit of their dreams. It doesn’t have to be a country lifestyle or growing and preserving your own vegetables. Maybe you want to be a nurse, live in a tiny house by the ocean, pass an exam, or write a song.
When we take action on something we’re meant to do, we find purpose.
Achieving your dreams isn’t a simple task. It requires dedication and perseverance. By diligently applying oneself and staying true to the path that God has laid out, a realm of incredible opportunities and unexpected surprises will unfold before you. Here are two that surprised me:
Country Perks and Grit ranked
#1 New Release and #1 Best Seller!
It received five 5-star reviews within five days of release!
