I personally prefer third person past tense. I admire anyone who can pull off first person in either past or present tense. Read some of Gray Martin's material.

Vintage Taylor Perry. Intriguing and sizzling with warmth!
I picked up this book curious about the story behind wilted magnolias. I never like anything to be wilted, whether it be flowers or people. In fact, this is one of the reasons I don’t like cut flowers in the house—too sad when they die.
Well, although the flowers are the gentle heroes of the story, the adventures and devious turns this story takes are nothing for an innocent little flower to learn. True to form, Janet Taylor-Perry brings you on a rollercoaster of emotions, a ride in which you will need to hold on for dear life.
There are many characters, from April Chastain McDougal to Russel Dalton to Russel Bear. I loved them all. Some are quite endearing, Drew Patterson and Chase Pickens for instance, and the list goes on.
All of them leave you with a residue of friendship and a taste for knowing more about what is going on in their lives. Wonder what they’re doing this week? As I said at the beginning, this novel is characteristic of Janet Taylor Perry’s stories

Oh, I should mention, everything filled quickly and now I'm booking into September and after.
I'll send your info to my friend, Carlene Singleton. Her book is nonfiction about her years of being a foster mother to special needs children. It's heart-wrenching and uplifting at the same time.
And I'll pester my editor to send you her stuff.

I give up. Thanks to all my friends who voted repeatedly for Wilted Magnolias. I was up 139 to 124 when I went to bed, but my competition apparently got a last-minute run. If ALL my friends had voted just ONCE...

I voted for your cover, Janet, which is terrific. Would have picked it even without knowing the talented writer responsible! These contests are good publicity, so I get why they're useful. Anything to drive potential readers to your work helps.
Especially when they're free. 
Yes, Gray, WM is truly the best of the lot. Thanks.
