August 19, 2010 | Getting Away With It, covers
Still on holiday. Still alive, after, miraculously, not getting killed whilst being dragged around a lake on a tube by Kathy Love’s insane cousins.
Well. Sort of alive.
But I have to share this, the brand new cover for my brand new book, GETTING AWAY WITH IT!
Hooray!!
Getting Away With It
It’s out in hardback in October, which is really not very far away now….!
October 28, 2009 | Nina Jones and the Temple of Gloom, covers
How gorgeous is that? Check out the bats!!
September 26, 2008 | Girl from Mars, covers
And this is my beautiful, amazing, wonderful, absolutely gorgeous cover for my May 09 Little Black Dress release, Girl from Mars.
The back-cover blurb:
I, Philomena Desdemona Brown, do solemnly swear to forsake all romantic relationships…
It’s not like the vow, made by Fil and her nerdy best male friends so they’d always stick together, was a big deal at the time. Frankly, Fil wouldn’t know romance if it hit her in the face anyway. Her one true love is her job as the artist for the famous comic Girl from Mars. Just like the comic’s heroine, Fil’s never had or needed a love interest–just her best friends. Until one of them breaks the vow and falls in love, bringing her smack back down to earth.
Could it be that romance is in the stars for Fil after all?
September 23, 2008 | B. H. Dark, covers
As a total contrast to the quintessential chick-lit Blanvalet cover, below, Kathy Love and I, aka B. H. Dark, also got our cover for our Samhain e-book release next month. Check this one out:
Half-nekkid couple. Stars. Funky comic-book-style font. Big alien eyeball.
Yup, you gotta love it.
I’ve made a B. H. Dark page on my website, which is here, and have also put up an extract on our blogspot site, which is here. And if you’d like to be our friend on MySpace, that’s here.
It’s out as an e-book on 28 October, and will be out in print next summer.
September 22, 2008 | One Night Stand, covers
This week is a week of covers. I’ve received my covers for my Samhain release as B. H. Dark, Close Encounters, and also for my May 09 Little Black Dress release, Girl from Mars. I’ll be posting them here, this week.
But first, I discovered this cover, for the German version of One Night Stand:
Beautiful. Pink. Involves lipstick. Title means “The Lucky Accident”.
It’s out in March.
May 12, 2008 | Honey Trap, covers
For Honey Trap, out this July:
Gorgeous, isn’t it?
Here’s the blurb:
Sophie Tennant is used to sticky situations…
Because Sophie used to be a private investigator, setting honey traps for husbands and giving wives ground for divorce. But these days she’s an aromatherapist–an aromatherapist who’s going on tour with a rock band, baby! Which is all good, until she recognises the band’s bassist, Dominick Steele: her first honey trap, and the man who taught her she has a lethal attraction to bad boys. But her attraction’s not half as lethal as the vengeful spouse who suddenly seems to be following her!
Will there be a sweet ending–or a sting in the tale?
October 1, 2007 | covers
This is the cover for the large print edition of Spirit Willing, Flesh Weak…out today. I haven’t seen it yet in person but I’m looking forward to it.
(Ironically for the large print edition, I could only find this very small cover image.)
September 26, 2007 | One Night Stand, covers
I got a copy of One Night Stand in hardback today.
How GORGEOUS is this. And the wonderful thing is, the paperback (out in January) is EVEN MORE GORGEOUS.
It almost makes me forget the crows. Almost.
June 22, 2007 | Delicious, Driving Him Wild, covers
This is the Australian cover for DRIVING HIM WILD (out now).
Love it, love it, love it!!!
And here’s my first US release, MACALLISTER’S BABY (aka DELICIOUS)…out in August.
April 1, 2007 | One Night Stand, covers
Well, it’s up on Amazon, so I’d better post it here…
This is my gorgeous, gorgeous cover for my next Little Black Dress book, One Night Stand!
November 23, 2006 | covers
Found the cover for DRIVING HIM WILD on Amazon. I like it. The hero’s a ruggedly chivalrous Maine park ranger, and the heroine’s a tough New York taxi driver/aerobics instructor, and I think this looks like they’re having a kiss in Central Park. Which they don’t–they have an argument in Central Park instead–but if they did, it would look like this.
It’s out in February 2007. Regular readers of this blog will remember it as the book with the pigeon in it. Anybody who’s read FEATURED ATTRACTION will recognise the hero as Kitty Giroux’s little brother Nick, and anybody who’s read BEING A BAD GIRL will remember that Nick owned the motorcycle that Oz ended up buying.
This is my Eric Bana hero…you can compare him with the Roman version on Michelle Styles’s cover for A Noble Captive, here.
August 14, 2006 | covers
I am consistently astounded at the goodwill and kindness of people on the internet, many of whom I’ve never met. Thank you, everyone, for your kind comments on the two posts below. Once again I’m going to promise to answer them properly in my next post, because in a few minutes I’m going to take off for London for the afternoon to see my friends, writer Anna Sugden and writer/DJ Biddy Coady.
I do have to say quickly that I received some of my author copies of MARRIED IN A RUSH on Friday, and I am amazed to see that my suspicions about the guy on the cover having long hair and a bit of facial hair are completely correct. My hero doesn’t have long hair nor facial hair, though personally I don’t mind either, and often sort of like it. (My husband has long hair at the moment, as he is looking particularly Rock.)
The whole cover is posted below, but here’s the relevant bit again, so you can examine. The guy is very cute. But note ponytail on hero’s head, and manly bristles on hero’s chin and upper lip:
Accuracy aside, this is the first time I can EVER recall seeing a contemporary Mills & Boon novel with a long-haired unshaven hero.
Have I missed something, or is this cover actually revolutionary?
