Final result Ebook cover

I think it turned out great!

Rough Draft of my Ebook cover

I love it.

Remember, it's a rough.  I think we'll remove the Susan Mallery quote and move my name down a bit.  I hate to remove the quote, but I can put it in the product descriptions and there's a bit too much wordage on the cover as it is now.  Plus, the guy has an amazing, muscular arm.  Readers always want to see a goodlookin' arm.  And the Shutterstock TM will be gone, of course, once we pay for the rights to the couple image.

So...going to try epubbing...

See, I have this book, this mainstream book, a romance with mystery elements that never really fit in any traditional publishing venue.  I love this book.  So I'm going to publish it in ebook myself.

Just hired a great cover designer--and also a wonderful author in her own right, Kimberly Van Meter, to do the cover for me.

Soooo excited!

The book is called NEVER KISS ME AGAIN.

Here's what it's about:

Never Say Never Again….

  The first familiar face Annie Dolan sees after four years away from home just happens to be the one person she’d hoped never to set eyes on again: her dangerously charming ex, Devlin Tenhawk.

   And it gets worse.
   Much worse.
    In no time there's a distinctly suspicious death in the family and Annie finds herself trapped in her hometown, unwilling heir to her grandmother's millions, stuck taking care of her thoroughly dysfunctional family, stalked by a mystery man who haunts her room at night—and way, way too tempted to  jump back in bed with her ex.

      

Can't wait to see what Kimberly comes up with....

Just so you can see how good she is, here's a cover she designed for one of her own books:

Yeah.  Really good!

Proposal Done!

Had such fun writing it.  Working title is MARRIAGE BY DECEPTION.  A whole new branch of the Bravo family.  Spent a lot of time, as I always do with the first book, figuring out the names of the siblings who will be the heroes and heroines.  This time I'm writing four brothers and five sisters.

Starting the manuscript for THE RETURN OF BOWIE BRAVO tomorrow.  A lot of readers have waited a long time for that one.  Pleased to finally be getting it written.  Oh, and I turned in the manuscript for the Montana Mavericks e-read, which will be FREE on eHarlequin for eight chapters, one a week, starting June 13th.  It's called THE TEXAS TYCOON'S RUNAWAY BRIDE.

So...lots in the works and lots coming up.

I'm also going to try to fit in a proposal for a possible Women's Fiction story.  I need more hours in every day!  Can someone arrange that for me???

Cool and rainy and gorgeous here in the Northwest.  Hope it's beautiful where you are....
