Thank you. E-mail the release, Leah? That's right. Head shot and cover image it is.<br /><br />Brenda, We gotta do what we gotta do.

Don't forget add the cover image and your headshot. On the headline, how about"Local author releases new romantic suspense novel"?? (Might be too long?) Anyway, congrats!
