The Grace Awards Summer Book Tour is well underway!
Week one spotlighted Tracy Krauss’s Grace Award winning romantic suspense novel, Wind Over Marshdale.
Week two spotlighted Susanne D. William’s young adult romance, The Life and Times of Lucas McGilley.
*This week the spotlight is on my Fredrickson Winery Novels, and more specifically the 1st book of the series:
One lost summer is time best left forgotten…
When Minneapolis attorney, Billie Fredrickson, inherits her uncle’s small California winery, she has no intention of actually moving to the west coast and starting a new life. Her only thought is to get it off her hands as quickly as possible. But her return to the winery after an absence of twenty years opens up more than the reading of her uncle’s will. Childhood memories, long-buried, begin to surface, prompting questions that no one is able or willing to answer.
A late night prowler, a break-in at the winery, and an unearthed box of shocking photographs is someone’s way of pulling the welcome mat out from under Billie’s feet, but it only makes her dig her heels in deeper.
Secrets lie buried beneath Fredrickson Winery’s innocent facade and Billie intends to get to the root. But disturbing the past lays bare the skeletons of others, including her mother’s. Can she live with the consequences of full disclosure or will she run home where everyone is Minnesota Nice.

Naomi Musch says
Cover #1 Love it!
Barbara says
Thanks for voting, Naomi!
Tracy Krauss says
This was tough. They are all great. There is something about #1 that really appeals to me, but I also like the couple on #3… maybe zoomed in a bit, or softer around the edges???
Barbara says
Thanks, Tracy!
Joy DeKok says
I LOVE number 1. It shows the two glasses – so you know romance is in the air and the grapes – I love the way a cluster of grapes looks. 🙂
Barbara says
Thanks for your input, Joy!
oldthingsrnewOnisha says
I like number 2. it gives off a feeling of mystery.
Barbara says
Mystery is definitely one of the things I’m going for, Onisha:) Thanks!
Arlene (Lena ) says
My choice would be #3. It sets the scene. Like ambiance.
Barbara says
Thanks, Arlene! I like that one too. I think it makes the vineyard seem very romantic:)
Stacy Ham says
I love cover #2!
Barbara says
Thanks for stopping and voting, Stacy! I like different things about each one, so it’s nice to get differing opinions:)
Charlotte Artigues says
Choice # 1. I like the layout of the grapes and the visibility of the 2 glasses.
Barbara says
Thanks for voting, Charlotte!
Kelly Johnson says
I like #1. It’s a nice setting; the tippid-over wine glasses make me think of mystery; and there’s something about not seeing people on the cover that leaves it up to your own imagination when you read. Just my thoughts …
Barbara says
Thanks, Kelly! It’s interesting and helpful to get all these different thoughts on what clicks with people:)
nicole says
Cover two:) it fits with the other covers well. Excited for the next book!
Barbara says
Thanks for stopping by and voting, Nicole! I’m excited for Savor to be released too!
Linda says
My favorite is #3. It goes so well with the title….savor the wine, savor the embrace….savor the kiss.
Barbara says
HI linda! I need to put the updated #3 on. A closer up. Thanks for voting!

Love 1 and 3 but not knowing the gist of the book it’s hard to pick! I guess cover 1 is what I choose,)
Barbara says
Thanks for voting, Becky!
Barbara Thompson says
Love Cover #1. Leaves an air of mystery about the book to me. Just my opinion.
Barbara says
Thanks for your vote, Barbara! Opinions are what I’m after:)
Julie says
Its close……..I like both one and three. I think I would go with the first one because because it is more mysterious.
Barbara says
Thanks for voting, Julie! I’m like you – having a hard time committing to just one:)
