@Kalayna LOL! Just a little bit. At least it's the GOOD sorta busy. ;-) Speaking of which, it's a good thing I didn't do NaNo. 1 day ago
Working on galleys for STRIPPED...which happens to be due on Baby Girl's due date. Gives new meaning to birthing a book. 2 days ago
Holy crap! My sexy goth princess costume from a few years ago still fits. Although, the preggers kinda augments the sexy factor. Oh well... 1 week ago
Need to go through my closet for a costume to wear to work tomorrow. That shouldn't take too long seeing as only a hat will fit me. 1 week ago

Edie

Marcia, I love it!!! You’ll sell a lot of books with this cover!

Marcia Colette

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.

Magaly

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.

Awesome!

Chudneyyyyyyyyyy! Thanks. And where have you been, girlfriend?

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?

Marcia Colette

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.

Marcia Colette

Thanks, Melissa.

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.

Tivi Jones

Super Hot Kick-Ass Urban Fantasy! Wooohoo! Congrats, Marcia!

Marcia Colette

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

Kath Calarco

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

June 17, 2009 at 8:45 am

Marcia Colette

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!

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!

June 18, 2009 at 8:23 am

Loving the cover Marcia. How are you feeling and when is the little one arriving?

June 18, 2009 at 8:36 am

Marcia Colette

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!

June 19, 2009 at 8:34 am

Marcia Colette

That’s what I’m talking about. A healthy baby is everything.

And I’m looking forward to this book release, too.

Jax Cassidy

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!

Marcia Colette

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.
