Sorry to be late…

This month was kind of hectic. I had sales conference, RT and pneumonia and as a result didn’t submit my blog when I was supposed to. I have a fun way to make up for my lapse, I believe.

Kris Noble, who does all the Brava covers and indeed all the trade paperback covers at Kensington, let me come with her to a photo shoot for the next three Jill Shalvis Brava books. We were there from 10 until about 5 and the amount of work the models, and photographer and stylist did was staggering. I learned so much about the opportunities the art director has when you shoot a cover as opposed to the challenges presented when the only option is stock art. The models were so professional and personable. But watching Kris in action was the high point. She and the photographer have worked together for some time and their rapport was evident.

So for you amusement, here is a picture of someone with the model for Cam Wilder, hero of Jill’s first book in this new series.

I like to call this photo Bess Truman and Jesse.
