Thursday, June 16th, 2011Here is my beautiful blue cover for MAD ABOUT THE EARL (released on January 3 2012)!
I was so pleased the artist used blue because of the scene where Rosamund and Griffin first meet:
Sweet. Jesus.
He nearly shoved his head under the pump for another dousing. If the reaction of every other male in the vicinity hadn’t told him his eyes didn’t lie, he’d have believed her a vision conjured by exhaustion. But not even his imagination could have manufactured such a breathtaking piece of womanhood.
She wore a deep cobalt blue riding habit that fitted her form so precisely, his hands itched to shape themselves around those well-defined curves. The habit was in the military style, with elaborate silver lacing across her torso that drew the eye to a magnificent bosom and trim waist.
Griffin peeled his gaze from her mouthwatering form and forced it to her face. Eyes as blue as the heavens stared at him beneath a sweep of thick black lashes and delicately arched brows. Rich golden ringlets escaped artfully from one side of her jaunty black hat.
The angle of that hat seemed unconscionably rakish. In fact, with her pearly skin and her adorable bow of a mouth, celestial eyes and gilt curls, the set of that particular piece of millinery struck a jarringly saucy note. It was as if an angel stood before him, closing one eye in a sly, knowing wink.
Stunned as he was, moments passed before the truth crashed in on him, like Armageddon.
Lady Rosamund Westruther.
Bloody. Bloody. Hell.

That cover is gorgeous enough to be framed and used as artwork. Makes me wonder if any authors ever do that?

Thanks for sharing your talents!!

Hi Lisarenee,
Sorry I missed you there. The cover is gorgeous, isn’t it? St. Martin’s, my publisher, does a wonderful job with covers. I think authors do frame their cover art sometimes. I might look into it. Thanks for the suggestion!

I really loved “Heiress In Love”. I am eagerly awaiting “Mad About The Earl”. I love the new cover, but in the description of Griffin,
it said he had a hairy chest. I happen to think some hair is sexy.
Why not some hair on the cover model?

Hi Terry! So sorry not to reply before now. Your comment was lost for a while.
Thanks so much for saying you loved HEIRESS IN LOVE. I hope you enjoy MAD ABOUT THE EARL, too.
I don’t think they make cover models with hairy chests:) Griffin is a lot bigger than this guy, too, but I’ve learned that covers are rarely completely accurate when it comes to details like that.
Thanks for dropping by!

Haha, Aide! You make me laugh. Thank you for telling me how much you enjoyed HEIRESS IN LOVE. I am sorry that it’s not out until January 3 but you should enter the contests for an Advance Reading Copy I’m running on Goodreads and for my newsletter list on my ‘members only’ page here on the website. Maybe you’ll have that book to read sooner than you think!
Glad to hear you are no longer a stranger to the romance genre. There are plenty of great historical romances out there.
Good luck with your relatives!
