“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings




As Alyssa Deane, I only had one book published, and this by Kensington Books. It sold here in this country and the publishing rights were thereafter sold to various other countries. I will not likely write as Alyssa Deane again, but I figured I’d share the various incarnations of Once and Always from the United States and elsewhere in the world, below. The book was never as sexy as some of these covers make it seem, but since I have no idea what the translations turned out to be, maybe in those countries they were. (The German ebook with the pastel cover — bottom left — is a photo taken of the computer screen, which is why it has that grainy look, but you get the, ahem, picture…)

Since first preparing this page, the rights to Once & Always have reverted to me (except for the German e-book). Keep an eye out in the future for a reworked version of this tale!
