New Cover Alert!

I have my reasons why I changed the cover of my chart-topping bestseller (in my dreams) The Playgirl. Yesterday marked the end of my book’s exclusivity to KDP Select after being on it for 14 months, and, with its return to wide distribution, I felt like a cover change was needed. If you’ve been keeping track, yes, this is not the first time I changed it. And if you’re a cover collector, here’s another one to add to the trove!

If you’re wondering about the image I selected for the cover…I wanted something that embodied the salaciousness and drama of my story (which has not been changed, by the way). Somehow, I never considered using illustrated stock photos for cover art until recently. (My last cover was a photo of a nude woman silhouette, edited to make it look almost illustrated.) And when I eyed that simple yet striking illustration, after looking through pages and pages of stock photos, I thought, wait…I think I found her. After playing with fonts and line placements, I had done it again. I gave my story a new face. Compared to my last cover, it’s quite minimalist. And I actually like it!

Credit to Dasha Kovtun on Dreamstime.com for the artwork. It’s coincidence that the green lashes and dark brown locks of the illustration mirror the look of my green-eyed brunette protagonist. And this time, I’m sticking with this cover!

ETA: she’s now back on Wide Distribution! And on the jungle site too.

Special Announcement!

Starting December 27, 2024, my eBook The Playgirl will return to Wide Distribution! It will still be sold on Amazon, but it will also be available on other platforms such as Apple Books, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble for those who choose to no longer buy anything through Amazon and Amazon-related sites, which I completely understand! (I’d take my book out sooner, but I’m still enrolled in KDP Select through 12/26/24.) I’ll also be looking into how I can sell my work directly through me so I can get all of the coins.

A Galentine’s Day Pairing

Black Cherry Merlot (from Bath & Body Works) really is that scent. I adore all things cherry-scented, so it’s fitting that my newest burn fills my casita with cherry goodness! As for that book, well…why not. It was a thrift store find (duh) and it stuck out in a sea of sappy romance paperbacks. That title with that tagline…I’m sold! Nice girl stories be damned!

New Reading Material (1.23.24)

Given to me by an acquaintance! 😁 I’m currently reading another book, and the book looks like more of a guide if you’re into astrology. It also looks quite thorough;  it’s over 550 pages and the book has chapters for the men and women of each sign and sexual orientation. (The book is from 2004, so some stuff in it may be dated.) After seeing my sign’s turn-ons 👀, I may have to put down my current read and check out the rest of this.

Forever Adore: Jackie Collins

Posthumous birthday wishes to one of my idols today, Jackie Collins. Ten years ago, an acquaintance suggested her books to me while I sought out stories that did not involve some psycho rich guy abusing his virginial young female lover (and the whole thing being framed as a “romance” *gags*). Dangerous Kiss was the first JC book I read, and I’ve been hooked on her work since then. Lucky, American Star, and her LA Confidential series remain tops from her collection. Jackie’s likely making angels clutch their pearls with her latest tome up in heaven as I type, but, here on earth, she’ll always remain an inspiration of mine. <3

Plus, she’s forever a queen for this quote!

ETA: my birthday tweet to her got reposted by her account!!!  😀
