Fingers crossed, Edie. Of course, my brain is reaching for the Kindle Top Sellers List. And perhaps NYT when the print comes out in June. But that’s just me.
She looks pissed! I like it!!!!!! (you can tell how much by the amount of question marks). I love the shading and the fact that she looks bigger than life. Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!! Like Edie said “You’ll sell a lot of books…”
Thanks, Magaly. My kick-ass girl on the cover has it going on. Not only does it have the UF elements, but I love the grunge look, too. Fingers crossed girlfriend sells a bunch of books. Momma needs a nursery and some diapers.
Trying to keep the kids occupied. Spent the day at the free movie and swimming in the next door neighbor’s pool. Still the little one won’t go to bed. How are you feeling?
No shame in looking at the cover first. Usually, I look at the title first. That was how I picked up my first LKH book, The Laughing Corpse. No way was I passing up a book with a title like that.
The airbrushed wolf was your idea, Kath. The first thing that popped into my head on the second cover was a King Kong trampling the city. That was sooooo not the idea I wanted to portray. So, I asked the cover artist if she could airbursh it, make it look more like a shadow. Wah-la!

I’m feeling great, although I think my allergies have kicked up a notch between this week and last.
Oh, and I’m keeping notes on the kiddie activities. I figure the best way to raise this little one is to learn from cool mommas like you.

You got the hookup on the cover. I love it! I agree with Edie and Magaly, you’ll sell alot of books.
Your cover will reel them in. I hate to say it but, when I’m looking for a new author, the cover gets my attention.

Thanks, Tivi. Fingers crossed this puppy lives up to the cover.

Dig it! The wolf is subtle, indicating that he’s in her background. Way cool!

Hehe. I saw this at ConCarolinas and it’s just as stunning a few weeks later. You have been blessed by the cover gods. Love it!
June 17, 2009 at 8:48 am
Marcia Colette
Tee hee.
You’re too sweet, Kalayna. I think the cover gods said something like, “We have to hook this sister up.” Samhain’s cover artists rock!

Thanks, RJ!
The little one and I are doing fine.
Although, November 23rd can’t come soon enough. I so want to see what this little munchkin is going to look like.

Forget who it looks like as long as it is a healthy baby that’s all that matters! Looking forward to the book release!

Marcia Colette
That’s what I’m talking about. A healthy baby is everything.
And I’m looking forward to this book release, too.

Oooh, it’s lovely! I should schedule you to guest blog on my Hooked On Romance blog.
It’s it always an awesome feeling to see your book cover. It just reaffirms there is an upcoming release. How cool!

Count me in, Jax!
I’m trying to get as much exposure for this thing without busting the budget. Speaking of which, I need to send you the .jpg.
And speaking of releases, I hear that Ms. Cassidy Kent has a release called SUNSWEPT this month. Sounds like I’m not the only one who’s on cloud nine.

Oooo. Fabulous cover, Marcia. Samhain always has good ones. I’ve rarely seen crappy covers over there.

Thanks, Liz.
Agreed. Samhain is one of the best when it comes to covers.
