It’s not Wednesday, my normal posting day, but excitement got the best of me. Remember how I said I was going to take a vacation? Well, I got caught up in something quite different than I intended, if you can’t tell. How do you like the blog’s new look? 
I must give a HUGE THANKS to Jillian Dodd for that beautiful banner above. And see those Follow-Me buttons on the side? I did those. 
I spent all weekend fiddling with photo software before those lovelies came out of it. But it was fun, and I’m quite proud considering how awful my first attempts looked. Lol.
Also, Dry Spell is now on Amazon and Smashwords! I’m still waiting for the book to go through Smashwords’ approval process so it can be distributed to B&N, iBooks, etc. If you’re waiting for one of those mediums, I will be sending out a newsletter once everything’s in place (including a paperback version!). You can sign up by clicking the link in the side bar or here.
As you can see, lots has been happening. I’m still trying to take that vacation, but maybe it will come easier now with these projects done and no longer bouncing around inside my head. But then, I’ve got lots more begging for attention.
Absolutely gorgeous new look, Angela!! I can’t get over just how perfect it is for you! Congrats!
Congrats on the book. Love the new look. How exciting Angela!!
Amazing, Angela! The new look is absolutely gorgeous! I especially love the follow icons…a very clever tie in with the books. Very much looking forward to reading Dry Spell. You go girl! xo
Fabulous! It’s amazing what a vacation will do for you, isn’t it? It was great fun watching this evolve. Teamwork!
I *love* the new look! It’s spectacular, and goes right along with the fabulous new book. Congrats all around!
It looks so pretty!!! I love the way you did the black down the side! It makes your book covers pop!! And I love the scrolly new background. And congrats on your new book!! I hope it does very well!!
A well deserved vacation indeed, sista! You did a fabulous job. Looking forward to the newsletter (I’m signing up right away), and congratulation on the release of Dry Spell!
Beautiful! I love the new look
I love your new site and congrats on Dry Spell!!
Love the new look, Angela! Good luck with the release and I hope you enjoy the rest of your vacation
Fantastic new look! And I love that cover. Good luck with the new book!
Gorgeous! This looks amazing. You and Jillian did a great job designing it. I think I have blog envy. In a good way.
Wow. Love the site. Those social networking icons are GREAT! It totally pulls the whole thing together. KUDOS.
Thank you everyone!!! It’s amazing how energizing a brand new look can be.
Hey, the place looks awesome! You did an excellent job on the buttons, and the banner blends so well!
The next book it out already!?! I haven’t read the first one all the way through. Next on my priority list, I promise.
Congrats!
Nice redo. And the new book was tagged on my library at Smashwords the day you put it on there. Now I just need to find time to read… anything.
I’m a little late getting here, but I can’t keep from telling you how visually stunning this is. I love the redesign! And I’m impressed by your design skills. My skills only extend to placing a quote on a photo
Marcy, I literally spent all weekend on them. I even almost forgot to eat lunch and dinner, I was so caught up in playing with photoshop, lol. I’m tempted to try my own book cover next…0_o
Ahh, the usual response to one of my observations. I mentioned that you had the best-looking blog I’d ever seen.
This is a lovely site, though. Quite nice
Too bad you can’t have both.
I love the changes you’ve made, Angela. It looks fantastic!!!
I love it! Very nice ladies! Congratulations on the latest book, Angela. Woo hoo! Very exciting. All good things!
This is SO beautiful, Angela! Congratulations!
I have to second Debra, Alina, and everyone else!
Even though it’s a different look, the fact is that You Still Have The Best-looking Blog I’ve Ever Seen.
Awesome!!
Haha, thank you, Donald!
This is beautiful. Love it!
Chiming in late because I’m on vacation…
Love your new look Angela, it’s gorgeous! Blue happens to be my favorite color. Love your little buttons too, they work so well with your brand. Great job girlfriend!!!!
Congrats on the new release. I absolutely love the cover!

Love the new blog look Angela (and Jillian). Clean, easy to read, but gorgeous!
Definitely a great look. Love the designs and think you (and Jillian) couldn’t have done better. It all looks fun and fits in with the new theme! Fantastic job
