Hallelujah! Old Enough to Know Better is naked no more!
Thanks to Kim Killion at Hot Damn Designs, I can now reveal the cover of my first novel. Ta da!
No, there’s not a bare-chested, Fabio-esque brute or a heaving-bosomed, ripped-bodiced belle in sight, and I love it all the more for just that reason. Don’t get me wrong: this romance definitely has its steamy moments. But there’s more to the story and the characters than that.
(Though I have to confess I spent some quality time drooling over her stock images of hunks. Maybe my next cover might feature one of those pretty dudes…)
Kim captured my heroine, Mel Morganstern — a fanfiction writer and aspiring author — typing away at her computer while Jamie Swain — my sword-wielding, demon-slaying, silver-screen hero — occupies her imagination. And since Jamie’s movie role is based on a popular comic book character, I love how Kim’s use of non-photographic art evokes that comic-book connection.
And yeah, it’s a huge thrill to see my name on that cover! Squee! <happy dance>
As always, I’d love to hear your two cents. Drop me a comment and let me know what’cha think.
Is that your new hairdo and does your back hurt?
Silly John! You mustn’t mistake me for any of my characters, no matter what the coincidences. They’re much more interesting than I am, regardless. 🙂
so you are an author writing about an author…..who’s silly now?
Of course, I keeeeeeeeed! Excellent site Shanyn!
Thanks, pal, you’ve been an inspiration 🙂
It’s called writing what you know, John!
