2nd Little Farm memoir

Back to Ireland--and a little time travel...

When I published my first Village of Ballydara novel, my Irish romantic comedy It Only Takes Once, ebooks were still a fairly new thing. And when it came to styling your book covers, the fad was, anything goes!

Here's my first cover of It Only Takes Once. Shamrocks, because...well, it's an Irish story! I wanted a redhead on the cover, like my heroine. So I sweet-talked my niece, with her mane of naturally vibrant red hair, into being my cover model. My husband John, a graphic designer, put it together:

 Tiny step-dancing shoes from my knickknack collection 

A couple of years later, I went back to the drawing board to refresh the cover: adding a pretty face, plus this gorgeous Irish cottage...

This cottage is in Adare, Co. Limerick

By the time I was ready to publish The Galway Girls, I'd found an absolutely wonderful cover designer. When she had finished that cover, I hired her to update It Only Takes Once, with more vibrant color:

I love the blue sky!

If you're in the mood for some light Irish entertainment, It Only Takes Once is at a great price: Free at all stores! See the book at Amazon, Kobo, B&N's Nook, Apple and more.  

You can find lots of other Irish books, movies, and other fun Ireland-inspired stuff at my Susan Colleen Browne website... Here's wishing you a Happy St. Patrick's Day!
