Is this my Lola?

My editor has been assigned, but I'm, still waiting on cover art for Invisible. In the meantime, I am thrilled to use the image below as my 'stand-in' cover art until the final version is produced by the publisher.

The artwork is courtesy of a talented cover artist named Tirzah. She's recently started a website for affordable and amazing cover art. If you're looking for a consciencious and talented artist, Tirzah's your gal. Check out her site at http://www.wix.com/tirzahlou/tirzahsbookcovers

I love it! Thank you, Tirzah.

    I love this picture - it is sooo Lola, and even the way the title is, is freakin' awesome! I'd buy this book if I saw that cover, just because between Lola and the title - I'd get it. Hope you sent it to your publisher for a look see.

    Great Job Tirz!

    Susan, how come you're suddenly anonymous, lol. Tirz put the cover up on my facebook author page last night. What a wonderful thrill it was for me. She's such a generous soul. :)

    Congratulations on your forthcoming book! It's such an exciting time. (I feel like how Ira Levin described Rosemary when she finds out she's pregnant and sees a pregnant woman on the street and wants to say, "Me too!") My novel won't be out for a while yet though--I will be thinking all great things for your upcoming release, and watch for news of it...

    Jeanne,

    Michelle pointed me this way. Really like what Tirz has done with your Lola. The effect is lovely and in keeping with the theme of the book. BTW - who did the eyes on your FB icon? Somehow I thought that was the book cover.

Writing Process Blog Hop

I would like to thank my friend, Tina D.C. Hayes for tagging me for the Writing Process Blog Hop. 1. What are you currently working on? I have three works in progress, however, one is more “done” than the others. It’s a romantic thriller titled, Love, Lies and Deception (the title has been changed from Undercover Hero ). The tagline for the novel is, “What’s a girl to do when she falls in love with the man whose mission it is to bring her down?” My other two novels are paranormal thrillers which is my usual genre and the genre I’m most comfortable writing in. 2. How does your work differ from others in the genre?   I don’t think Love, Lies and Deception is much different than other works in that genre. It has all the typical elements of a romance, but I do bring in aspects of the paranormal into everything I write. So, even though LL & D is, at its essence, a romance, it definitely has a touch of the paranormal. 3. Why do you write what you do? ...

When a Review is not a Review

Image
After receiving plenty of great reviews and ratings for Invisible , yesterday, I went through a rite of passage, I got my first ever one-star review from a reviewer on Goodreads - http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/278254425 . It's okay, really, I'm fine with it. After all, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But what really got to me was the reason why! There is a gay character in my novel. Her name is Charlie and I love her. I think she adds dimension and depth to my novel, but the reviewer hated her. The reviewer's stated "I don't do gay." So I ask, is this really a review or an opportunity for the reviewer to tout her so-called Christian values? All I ask is for a fair review. Review the book as a whole. A one-star review is fine by me, especially when it comes from a narrowminded individual. I would have thought in this day and age that such prejudice and hatred would not be so prevalent.
