New Cover for The Huntress!

I'm just tickled all over at the new look for The Huntress, the very first scifi romance novel I had ever gotten published! This story and characters have a special place in my heart, so I wanted the cover to really zing. My amateur efforts at digital imaging just weren't good enough--I needed professional help. I found Laura Gordon (The Book Cover Machine) on thebookcoverdesigner.com and begged her help with this cover. Her custom design is practically perfect!! The model's face isn't exactly what Mea Brin looks like, but her kick-ass stance is perfect and that dynamic sun is too DIE for! I hope readers will be just as thrilled with the cover as I am. I'd love to hear what you think, so please leave a comment below.

New Cover Reveal The Huntress

BLURB:
The Hunter:
Traumatized at a young age by the violent death of her parents, Mea Brin becomes a Hunter, part of an elite policing force of the Planetary Coalition. She is the best of the best, ruthless and predatory on a hunt and driven by the memory of violence. But then she meets Seth Terrik, an escaped convict, and Regan Freya, a child recently orphaned. The pair make an impression on Mea that she can’t ignore—she feels a deep empathy for the girl and in Terrik she sees reflections of herself. Her choices seem limited—duty demands that she capture the escapee and turn the child over to the proper authorities. But Mea is not one to allow duty to define her. She creates a new choice.

The Convict:
Seth Terrik has spent more than half of his life in prison. All that he knows or cares about is survival and the fight for freedom until a trusting girl becomes his responsibility and a seductive Hunter offers him what looks like a second chance at life. The simple rules of his existence become much more complicated as he is forced to redefine the concepts of survival and freedom. What does a hardened criminal like him know of trust or love? Is he even capable of stepping beyond instinct and into human emotion?

Abandoned by her brother and out of her depth in one of the foulest prisons in the galaxy, Priya finds an ally in a half-mad newcomer with a deadly beauty and a mysterious past.

New Cover for The Third Sign!

I'm thrilled with the new look for my recently released dark scifi romance/adventure, The Third Sign! The story has so much happening in it, with three primary kick-ass characters, very distinct settings, and plenty of plot twists. It was really hard to decide what I wanted on the cover. What parts or characters should I emphasize? What kind of feel am I going for with it? Then I stumbled across this premade cover by RockinBookCovers.com and I was sold! Gritty and intriguing with that feeling of fatal seduction only the Black Widow could evoke. I hope readers like it just as much! I love feedback, so feel free to leave your opinion in the comments.

New Cover Reveal!

Angels and Ministers of Grace, my second published novel, has been out for a while and has gone through a few makeovers and edits. With this makeover, I knew I wanted the heroine Anya on the cover, but it was hard to pick a face for her. The model I chose isn't exact and doesn't have Anya's white hair, but she has the right angelic yet sensual feel to be Anya Vaedrin. This new cover is the best yet, in my humble (yet horribly biased) opinion! I hope readers will like it as much. I'd love to hear what you think, so please comment!

New Cover Reveal Angels and Ministers of Grace 


BLURB:
Anya Vaedrin is a woman of extraordinary talents. A singer by trade, she has earned the nickname Angel with her voice, white hair, deep blue eyes—and a secret.

In a time when telepaths hold positions of power and empaths are their weak discards, Anya is an explosive mix of the two talents. Able to both read emotions and cause others to feel anything she wishes, from joy to fear and pleasure to pain, Anya is a new breed that the telepaths would give anything to possess. Or destroy.

Pursued to the ends of human occupied space by a telepathic assassin, Anya has one last hope of safety before she must brave alien territory. Far Reach Station is known for its liberal policies towards alien species, but would they give sanctuary to one of their own when she is wanted by the Telepath Guild?

Anya's prospects seem grim when she is confronted by Jason Salvatore, the surly second in command of the station, and Captain Marta Jamison makes the station a dubious refuge when it becomes clear that she has an agenda all her own.
