Hi, it’s me – Marcy.
It’s been almost 9 months since my last blog post. Because that’s time enough to birth a baby, I thought instead I would birth a new cover for my debut novel, Pennies from Burger Heaven (300+ Amazon reviews).
I’m told this new design sets more of mood and tone about my award-winning story. I hope you agree.
Drumroll, please!
Isn’t she gorgeous?
What’s Pennies About?
◆ Is a family of one still a family? ◆
Copper Daniels dreams of living in a white house with red shutters and a dog named Sugar, but she’s just fine, thank you very little. Life on the streets isn’t so bad because she’s got Mama.
That all changes the day the girl wakes up to find her mother is missing. Copper can’t imagine a world without her mom in it, so she hesitantly braves the big city alone to bring her family “home.” In following the crumbs of clues, a terrifying story emerges.
To make matters worse, a mysterious someone threatens to end Copper’s search before it even begins. Soon, she’s running for her life. Buried secrets … family lies, will Copper live long enough to face the impossible truth?
Pennies from Burger Heaven is women’s literary fiction set in Remington, Texas. This fast-paced novel is Book 1 in the Copper Daniels trilogy. Fall in love with the unforgettable Copper Daniels, who will steal your heart, then break it in two.
BUY Pennies from Burger Heaven if you like fast-paced fiction, book club reads and family sagas.
What Readers are Saying
Copper #3 – Coming in 2022
The story idea for Pennies came to me years ago while visiting the historic cemetery of my hometown in Texas.
How cool ist that?
I’m hard at work to release the conclusion to Copper’s incredible journey – Beyond the Empty Grave. Thank you for your extreme patience between my family’s house fire in 2017, and all the overwhelm since March 2020.
I’m grateful for each and every one of you.

I love the original cover, but also love this one!
Thanks, Em. I agree about the old cover. It’s beautiful, but the point is to sell more books and it’s been suggested to me NUMEROUS times that a different cover would help. Fingers crossed.
Yep. I’ve got mine crossed for you xoxo
I love the cover, Marcy! And I loved the story SO much! Best wishes!

I think it brilliant. We all know how important a good cover is and I have to say that this cover is just captivating. Great work!
I’m so glad you agree, Alvin (and I LOVE that you called my cover, “captivating.” YES! I’ll keep you posted.
The cover is great. I redid one of mine recently, and it was a smart decision! Best of luck, Marcy 🙂
Ooooh! I’m so excited to hear you recently redid one of your covers. Here’s to good things for us both. Thanks for you comment.

Excellent, Francois. I’m so glad you think I nailed it. I’m also very grateful how much you love Copper Daniels because her stories brought us together as writer friends. Thanks.
I love the new cover! I really enjoyed reading the book too back when it had the old cover.
Your comment me touches my heart so much, Katherine. I appreciate you reading Pennies, and for you taking time to connect with me today. TY!

Very good looking cover. Subdued but eye catching. Congratulations!
Subdued, but eye catching. LOVE this description, Portia! What a beautiful sentiment. Thanks for your time and attention. Have a great day!
New clothing for an excellent story. Will have to reread again the new cover to meet the new Pennies
Nothing would make me happier than for folks to reread Pennies (or give it a try for the first time). Either way, thank you for being part of my community! I appreciate you.
Love the new cover! I have changed my last name after a tough divorce. I am now working on a nonfiction book for women over 50 about the ravages of a long divorce! Blessings… Dawn
Oh, Dawn. I’m sorry that you’ve had such a rough time lately, but am glad that it sounds like your pain has found purpose. Soooo many women need that type book.
WRITE ON, SISTER! I’m thrilled you like my new cover, and wish all the best on this new chapter of your life. Much love. m3
Looks good Marcy! Hope the new and shiny cover will bring new readers. 😊😊
