Y'all! Y'all! Y'all!

Well, with Electric Angel out, with the help of cover model and Master of the Dark Realm Ron Fitzgerald and photographer extraordinaire Jim Sorfleet of SnSphoto.com and my wonderful editor Arlene W. Robinson and of course my publisher Black Bed Sheet Books--it's now time to knock out the third installment in my Thirsting for Blood series. And sorry to say I'm not sticking with the title Cyn No More as another author decided they'd rather use this as their title as opposed to being original and coming up with one of their own. Whatever. There are plenty of other titles in the sea. But because of this hmmm . . . coincidental accident, I've decided not to divulge the title of my third installment so as not to have this coincidentally happen again. I know, right?

But on with the news at hand.

As you know, I believe the cover of a book is as much a part of the story as the story itself. I believe that it's God awful the way large publishing houses have taken creation of the cover art away from the author to the point where the author doesn't even have a say. Black Bed Sheet Books not only lets me have a say but pretty much turns me loose, incorporating all my ideas and talking with me about what would work best. Then the fabulous Nicholas Grabowsky takes it to an entire 'nuther level by adding his own touches.

Just where is this going Sue?

Here. Let me show you.

  
 Jared Degado of Muscle Wolf Productions accepted my invitation to have him  represent the male werewolves in my novel as I've yet to find anyone who could do them justice. A special thanks goes to their new manager Francy Weatherman for helping to make this this happen. Jared will represent the werewolf Joachim in the novel-that-shall-remain-nameless until it's ready to go to publication. ;)

What do I have to say about Jared accepting my offer?

*Sue grins wickedly* 

I'll tell you what I say. Jared will be on the back cover to take advantage of the hmmm . . . total package photo. Let's see if e-books out sell print books in this instance. E-books don't typically show the back cover. That's what I say.

Oh and thank-you Jared for accepting.
