Sunday night I turned in my galleys—the last time an author sees her book before it heads to production—for In These Hills, and oh does it feel good! And now, the cover. I honestly never expected a woman sitting on a whiskey barrel, but I LOVE it! Is the name Jack Daniel familiar? What about Miss Mary Bobo. . . and what she owned?
