Megan sent me the cover for CLAIMED yesterday. Waiting for a new cover is a lot like staring at that unopened present…you want to rip open the wrapping so badly, but what if it’s slipper socks? Or a skillet when you wanted a laptop?
I’m so happy to say that… I LOVE the cover! It’s steamy, sexy and oh man, I would pick up the book and read the back. So if I’d pick it up, hopefully a lot of readers will as well. Claimed will be released in print on October 25, 2011 and e-format on November 1, 2011.
This is Book 2 in the Dark Protector Series and it features Dage, the King of the Realm, and Emma, a fiesty scientist. You know, now that I think about it, Emma isn’t just fiesty. She’s brilliant. More than smart enough to figure out the most powerful vampire in existence and then turn him on his ear. In fact, she’s insightful, which is even more dangerous to the king than her intelligence.
Don’t get me wrong. Dage is tough–a true Alpha. He’s a soldier and a diplomat…who has been waiting centuries to meet his mate. I have an excerpt of CLAIMED on my website if you’d like a peek. I hope you enjoy it!
Great cover. It ties in with Fated beautifully. Congratulations!
Thanks, Stacie! I still just love the font Kensington chose as well. The art department does a wonderful job–which is great because I struggle with just using clip art.
Claimed is a beautiful cover. I’m glad you’ve been so lucky. Kensington does a wonderful job in that department.
But not all authors are so lucky. Does anyone else remember Christina Dodd’s three-handed heroine? Evidently someone was being clever with Photoshop and didn’t erase all the possible hand positions before the book went to print. Not to be so easily daunted, Ms. Dodd trumpeted her unique heroine from the rooftops and the book turned out to be a best seller.
Who knows what actually works?
Hi Mia! Someone passed out copies of the three-handed cover at the RWA conference last year. Too funny! Christina was brilliant with marketing it, wasn’t she? Have a great one!
Looks great! Can’t wait : )
Thanks, Virginia! Have a wonderful weekend!
