Just Imagine

Feeling chatty?

Welcome to my blog! Pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee and read what's on my mind. I've a vicious sense of humor, an apprecation for romance and a mad addiction to writing.

Cover Reveal! The Coldest Sea by Marian Parera.



Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. Today I'm welcoming over Marian Perera for a Monday Covers It Book Cover Reveal for her latest release, The Coldest Sea. I think this cover is gorgeous. Ready to hear how it came to be?  

Let’s hear from Marian…

The Coldest Sea is inspired by Titanic, so there’s a sailing ship and a giant iceberg (though the story is a romance, so… happy ending). I wanted the cover to give readers chills, not just from the ‘berg but because the ship is so small and vulnerable next to it.

My incredibly talented cover artist Kanaxa put that together and sent me some stock images of models so I could choose the heroine, Maggie. In the story, Maggie has amber eyes and very curly dark hair. One of the models looked almost exactly like what I had in mind, and Kanaxa made sure her eyes stood out from the ice. I think that’s my favorite part of the cover, her  smoldering, molten-bronze look. The hero—the captain of the ship—likes her eyes as well. :)

The Coldest Sea will be released by Samhain Publishing later next year, and I’ll be sure to enter it into some cover contests then.
