When you Google the word honeymoon, up pops 266,000,000 potential links. I was just trying to find the origin of the word, but I could have found many, many great places for a honeymoon.

Cover Reveal – River to Redemption
For an author, one of the highlights of a new book’s journey to publication is seeing the cover that is going to be wrapped around the words of your story.
