Once I changed POV and made Darlene the narrator, it came together and now it is finished. I'm very excited about cover featuring Darlene, the star of the story. Hats off to designer, Patty Wallace, for this fun cover.
Here are six sentences from "Laid to Rest," featuring Darlene, whose dream is get to Hollywood and to become a movie star like her idol, Marilyn Monroe.
Mentally, I summoned up an image of Tyrone Power, one of the best-looking men ever born. Tyrone, Tyrone, Tyrone. All I had to do was imagine that I was filming a love scene with Tyrone. What could I say? I had always been enterprising, especially in dire situations. Of course, pretending the mayor was Tyrone Power would require quite a stretch.

LOL -- this sounds fun. And I love the cover!
What a fabulous cover! I'd forgotten all about Tyrone Power. My mother thought he was fabulous. I take it the mayor is no Tyrone Power.
I'd forgotten all about Tyrone Power, but yes, he was rather a dish! Sounds like an intriguing story!
Oh, yes, Tyrone was a total babe. Total babe. I watched "In Old Chicago" a few months back. Great movie, even if they did completely change the actual history of the Great Chicago Fire, LOL! Well, THAT'S Hollywood!
I ADORE the cover of your book(s)! I love the daisies, everything.
And I'm getting a mental image of the mayor as corpulent and old(er) with maybe a receding hairline. In other words: NO Tyrone Power AT ALL, LOL.
KE and Virginia: No, Mayor Stroud was no Tyrone Power. LOL!
lol sounds like it's an awesome book!
Tyrone Power would do it for ME - he was a great Zorro. Not sure I could superimpose him over this mayor but after all, she is an actress! Terrific six!
I wondered what happened to that story! Glad to know it worked out:)
What a fun cover! And I love love love Darlene! Can't wait to read the whole story! :)
I'm glad everyone loves the cover! Yay! It fits the story perfectly.
Whether it's Brad Pitt or Tyrone Power Darlene's trying to imagine, I suspect she's not going to be able to make the mayor fit her love scene. Great humor! :)
Enterprising and entertaining, cute 6! The cover rocks and I love the look of your site.
Your cover is so cute. I remember Tyrone Power too. Great six.
Laid To Rest is one of the funniest stories ever. Can't wait for it to be published!
So glad to hear you kept working on it! Like those before, I loved this six. Darlene has a memorable voice.
Terrific tone here, and a great character voice! =D
What a great story! I love how you kept at it and it sounds like a great book! I love the last line!!! :)
Oh, I like her already. Great six!
Your cover is to die for!! And, the story sounds great - set in 1950s. What fun. I will definitely check out.
