Cook says, "My readers have continued to request "Magnolias," so I sold the rights to a new publisher, BelleBooks, thinking they would print a new edition. Instead, they decided they could present a more readable book if they went back to the original single format. The rest of the series will be released every two months in 2010."

The new edition has a steamboat on the cover, which makes it look different, but Cook wants local readers to know they may have purchased this same story in 1985 or 2002.

"This is the fourth book publisher that has bought it," says Cook. "I wish I knew the secret of why it is the most popular of all my work."

Other novels available by this author include "Sunrise," the true story of the builders of the fabulous Hay House in Macon, Georgia; "The Gates of Trevalyan," an epic Civil War novel set in Madison, Georgia, and Washington D.C.; and "The Greenwood Legacy," the true story of Thomas and Lavinia Jones who built Greenwood in 1840 and started the plantation culture that still exists between Thomasville, Georgia, and Tallahassee, Florida.

These titles are available at bookstores everywhere and online. www.Amazon.com has them in book form and for Kindle reader, "The River Between" can be downloaded on http://www.scribd.com/doc/26633988/Classic-Historical-Romance-THERIVERBETWEEN, which really brings them into the twenty-first century.

Cook will be at Shorter Mansion at the Eufaula Pilgrimage, signing "The River Between" on April 9,2010, from 11:00 to 1:00 CST. "I invite everyone to come and enjoy the lovely town full of antebellum mansions while it is abloom with dogwoods, azaleas, and belles in hoop skirts," says Cook.
