I’m thrilled that my soon to be released book, The Seven Year Dress, is in the final stages.
I received the cover design today and wanted to share it. And also to introduce you to Peter and Caroline O’Connor. They did this cover and the cover for “To Live Out Loud” and are a topnotch professional group based in the U.K. I wanted to share their website for anyone who might be looking for someone to do their cover design: http://bespokebookcovers.com/
As with all my other books, the profits from this one will go to help get dogs out of kill shelters. To date in 2016 we’ve helped get 37 dogs out of kill shelters. See a few of their photos below. More to follow with the release of my book in a couple of weeks.

About The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap
The year 1895 was filled with memorable historical events: the Dreyfus Affair divided France; Booker T. Washington gave his Atlanta address; Richard Olney, United States Secretary of State, expanded the effects of the Monroe Doctrine in settling a boundary dispute between the United Kingdom and Venezuela; and Oscar Wilde was tried and convicted for "gross indecency" under Britian's recently passed law that made sex between males a criminal offense. When the news of Wilde's conviction went out over telegraphs worldwide, it threw a small Nevada town into chaos. This is the story of what happened when the lives of its citizens were impacted by the news of Oscar Wildes' imprisonment. It is chronicle of hatred and prejudice with all its unintended and devastating consequences, and how love and friendship bring strength and healing.
Paulette Mahurin, the author, is a Nurse Practitioner who lives in Ojai, California with her husband Terry and their two dogs--- Max and Bella. She practices women's health in a rural clinic and writes in her spare time. All profits from her book are going to animal rescue, Santa Paula Animal Shelter, the first and only no-kill shelter in Ventura County, CA, where she lives. (see links below on Ventura County Star Article & Shelter)

The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap 
Fantastic. I can’t wait for this. ❤
I can’t wait for you to read it. As you know, with this heavy topic, it’s not an easy write. But these are stories that need to be told. You’ve done incredible work with this difficult topic and I love your books. ❤
Great cover. Love the dog photos.
They do great work on the covers. I’m very happy with this one. ❤

I love this. Best wishes for the greatest success
Thank you so much, my friend. And thank you so much for the pingback. Your generous support is so appreciated. ❤
I LOVE this cover, Paw– absolutely love!

The cover for Paulette’s soon to be released new book, The Seven Year Dress.
❤
I hope you sell a ton of books. All the dogs are beautiful and winners in my book. But the folks that adopted them are the winners for sure. These dogs will shower the new owners with loving gratefulness.
They sure will Yvonne. It’s going to be a win-win love fest for sure. It’s such a feel good image: dogs going to forever homes, happiness all around. Take care. ❤
Wish you a lot of succes with your book ans thanks for helping all those dogs.
Ah thank you so much Lou. ❤
Great to hear about rescues getting new homes. A contrast to my sometimes gloomy posts.
I like the cover, and I am often asked about designers so I’ll bear them in mind next time someone asks. The title reminds me of the boy in the striped pyjamas or whatever it was called. I enjoyed that book, tragic though it was.
Good luck with the new release.
Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment. Very appreciated. Yes, I remember “The Boy with the Stripped Pajamas.” What a heart-wrenching story but it sure does make the point of do onto others and tragic karma. I don’t think there’s any easy way to tell these stories, where lives were shattered. But in the darkness there are the good: mostly the selfless people who help, at the risk of their own lives. Thankfully, this of mine, has some benediction in that goodness to help balance all the evil. Again, thank you so much for stopping by. I love sharing the pups we help save with my cyber friends. ❤
Wow! They did a fantastic job on the cover! It looks good! 🙂 Thanks for sharing more puppy pics!
They sure did. They did my last cover as well and I’m very pleased with them. More puppy photos to come. Stay tuned. ❤
I like the cover.
Greetings good friend
Greetings to you my friend. So happy you like the cover. I thought they did a really good job. ❤
That they did.
And just so you know, I like the other photos too
Ah, thanks! I love the doggie photos as well. 🙂
I love the cover and the title! I know you will inform us when the book is released. Thank you again for all that you do. Thank you just doesn’t seem like enough.
Ah, thank you my sweet friend. Thank you is quite enough especially from you who does so much to help the natural and animal world you live it. So happy to share with you. ❤
The reviews of your books are always wonderful and amazing. The cover is amazing. Your work with helping dogs is amazing.
The most amazing thing is that I know an author who actually visits my blog. I am sure all your followers are also amazed that you find the time to do so much. 🙂
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kind words of support. And about finding time, I’m only swamped when I’m into the writing and editing. Once that’s done I love stopping by and spending time at your and others’ sites. Yours especially is enjoyable and a pleasure to visit. ❤
Come around any time. lol
Will do, gladly. 🙂
A difficult subject to write about, but as you say, one that needs to be told, and I wish you every success with the book. The cover is awesome, they did a good job.
Hi Barb. Yes, they did do a good job on the cover. It’s the train tracks leading into Auschwitz where some of the story takes place. Thank you for your kind words wishing the book success. Very appreciated. ❤
It’s a great cover design Paulette. I look forward to your latest book!
Alison
Hi Alison! I’m pleased with the cover. They do really good work. And thank you for the encouraging words about my book. Not a light subject, that’s for sure. ❤
Paulette…..I cannot wait.
Ah, thank you so much Colleen. ❤
Reblogged this on Sue Vincent – Daily Echo.
Oh kind of you to reblog this, Sue. Thank you so much. ❤
It sounds an interesting read, Paulette, and such a good cause.
❤
Reblogged this on The Jackson Diner.
So nice to meet you, Jean. And how lovely of you to reblog this. Thank you so much. ❤
I am looking forward to your new book.
Thank you! ❤
Love the cover – and it’s so exciting to be so close to release (and the release of so many more dogs!).
It is exciting on both accounts but more so that dogs’ lives are saved. That’s a biggie for me. I’m happy you like the cover. I thought they did a really good job. ❤
I agree – definitely a job well done!
🙂
Dat’s great. Da cover looks pawsum. And me luvs da doggies dat get helped. Good luck.
Luv ya’
Dezi
Ah, Dezi, I’m so happy you stopped by and like the cover. I agree with you that it’s pawsum. I bet there are lotsa wagging tails right now from your great energy and loving hearts. Luv ya right back. P and gang ❤
Congratulations! And all our dogs, especially our recent rescue, also thank you. I will probably buy your book, but I won’t read it. Between growing up Jewish in the 1950s and living in Israel, I have had too much holocaust. Much too much. It fills my nightmares. When there’s stuff about it on TV, Garry has to watch it without me. On the other hand, he has much the same reaction to Mississippi in the 1960s. We all have sore spots.
Bless your sweet heart, Marilyn. I completely understand. If the subject matter of my book is not something you want to read and there’s no actual reader for the book, don’t worry about buying it. You’ve rescued your babies and that’s more than a beautiful and loving energy to help dogs. There are a tons of great rescue groups out there working tirelessly to get dogs out of kill shelters, perhaps if you feel a need to flow in that direction because of the work I do, I’m sure you’ll find the place that hold interest for you. Your kind words are loving support for me. That’s more than enough for me. As for doggies, you and Garry have huge hearts and help the world in so many ways already. ❤
Great cover, Paulette. Congratulations! 🙂 Love those sweet freedom photos.
Me too, love the freedom photos. Food for our hearts. And thank you for your encouraging words re: the cover. I’m happy with it. ❤
Stunning! 🙂
It wouldn’t be happening, this cover, the story, any of it, without you. ❤

Another hot title coming up – I’m a huge fan of Paulette Mahurin and her work – not just for the charity work she does for dogs but for the quality of her writing and the humanity within. Good news: We’ve got not too long to wait now for her next book!
Bless your ever loving sweet heart for all your support, not just to me and the dogs I help, but so many other authors. And on top of all you do you’re a best selling prolific author. I’m so grateful for our friendship. ❤
A fantastic cover and lovely to see the dogs. Good luck, Paulette
Lovely to see you here Olga and thank you so much for your kind words. ❤
This is a great cover and blurb – well done and best of luck with the book. I’ll keep my eye out for it. Thank you also for the recommendation of bespokebookcovers; I’ve bookmarked their webpage for future requirements (hopefully!).
Hi & thank you Annika. They do a great job. This is the second cover they’ve done for me and I’m very happy with the product and their professionalism while doing the work. And got my fingers crossed in response to your “hopefully.” ❤
OK 2 things. 1 – Keep up the good work. 2. Thank you for your amazing work with the dogs.
So nice to have to stop by. Thank you for your kind words. ❤
Now I know who you are! Just reading your book 🙂
I’m so excited to have you read my book. Especially since I’ve read all of yours and love your writing/storytelling. ❤
