My cover artist has done it again! Could this cover be any more gorgeous? I think not! And it so totally screams "Snow White set in the Old West," doesn't it? Plus a little hint of Hamlet in there, since One Bad Apple has a lot of Hamlet overtones.
What exactly is One Bad Apple about? Well, it's about seven white orphans who are reluctantly allowed to join an all-black wagon train headed to Kansas. The orphans just want to find their only remaining adult relative, a homesteading uncle. But they get all mixed up with the people in charge of the wagon train: a minister, his daughter, and his wife, who is a healer. One of the orphans dreams of being a doctor, and he hopes the healer will be able to teach him how to cure sick people. But instead, he discovers she has a sinister plan to dispose of her husband and stepdaughter... and she intends to place the blame on this orphan.
One Bad Apple is set to release on July 28, and I will be calling for advance readers and setting up a blog tour in a few weeks, so keep a lookout for those posts! Meanwhile, you can mark One Bad Apple as a "want to read" here on Goodreads.
