House of Seven, my latest book, will be released in the month of July, 2017. It is a humorous romantic novel about life in the early twentieth century. Although it is the sixth book in the Covington Chronicles, it stands alone with an independent plot. Here's the cover:

  Here is the text planned for the back cover:

House of Seven packs a punch – romance, adventure, comedy, and mystery. Join Beth, a lovely, single author, as she moves to a new town after an unexpected gift from her uncle. An entertaining story told through alternating voices, including that of Beth’s zany Aunt Genie, a colorful character you will not soon forget.”

-Jameson Gregg, 2015 Georgia Author of the Year, Author of Luck Be A Chicken

Mary Lou Cheatham is a masterful storyteller and weaver of tales, and she has done it again with her latest addition to the Covington Chronicles. The House of Seven held my interest and kept me intrigued from the beginning. I couldn't imagine where she got the name for her book.....until I got to the end. What a great book—what a great writer!

This is a lovely story, filled with a cast of unlikely characters who make up an unlikely family. Racial unease in the early 20^th century. A group of people who need each other, who don’t always like each other, but who love each other and pull together when needed. Fun romance and humor that keeps the reader tickled and smiling.
