It's a cold day in Green Bay, Wisconsin, with the temperature at -7 F and feels like -19. It's improving.
It's been a wonderful day. I just finished the editing and revision for In the Hands of Mighty Men. Above you see the wraparound cover. I know the spine isn't right. I can make that adjustment when I start the publishing process.
Here is the blurb for the book -
In the Hands of Mighty Men
by Valerie Jean Routhieaux
When Andrea is torn from the only home she’s ever known and thrust into the violent world of her father’s criminal empire, she discovers a truth more devastating than betrayal: she was never meant to survive. But in the hands of mighty men—uncles she never knew, a grandfather she thought was dead, and a husband she barely had time to love—Andrea finds protection, purpose, and a family willing to risk everything to bring her home.
As rival factions collide and long buried secrets ignite a war, Andrea becomes the center of a deadly struggle for power. Her father’s enemies close in, his allies turn unpredictable, and every choice carries a cost in blood. With danger tightening around her and the family’s future hanging in the balance, Andrea must rely on courage, conviction, and the men determined to keep her alive. This is a story of survival in a world ruled by violence—where loyalty is tested, faith is sharpened, and the line between justice and vengeance is razor thin.
It's a satisfying morning. Now, I will spend the rest of the afternoon here and on WordPress as I have notifications there too that I've been ignoring this week.
How is your day going? Let me know in the comments below. Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me - AI generated.

I'm just watching the snow fall and watching YouTube videos about our ancient ancestors while checking in on myLot off and on this morning.
I hope you're enjoying your work and catching up with notifications.

@just4him We had an estimated 4 inches at 5 am and are supposed to get another 5 inches today. They're predicting another 6 inches tomorrow.
I'm sure you're happy you're done with your newest book.

@just4him Yes, it is, especially from just one storm. We might get that much in a season but it's spread over several different storms.
I'm sure you'll manage it. Good luck!

That sounds like an incredible book, Valerie.
It’s 10 F at noon, but our second wave of snow doesn’t hit until tonight. I’m trying to keep busy by doing an art project and surveys. I don’t want to complain about boredom considering I still have electricity.

@AmbiePam Well, maybe north or south of Green Bay it would be nothing, but where we sit, getting that much snow at once would be a blizzard, which I always hope for.
Enjoy your snow. I know you've been wanting it. I hope you don't lose power.
