Five Years Later. My Cover Artist ROCKS...then SHOCKS!

We’re into the first week of 2012 and I’ve so many things to be thankful for.

First and foremost, my amazing and beyond talented cover artist, Tamra Westberry. We’ve worked together now for five years and she still totally amazes me with her talent. More than that, she 'wows' me with her everyday attitude. No matter what's going on, she is a nice person! And it’s probably because of her attitude and willingness to work with authors, that I will always consider her not only a friend but my all-time favorite cover artist. Trust me, combine politeness, a good business mind and pure talent with simple kindness, you’ve got someone worth cherishing.

That said, I’ve big news.

And it all revolves around Tamra Westberry.

Did you hear the BIG news??? (It's not really Shocking as my title implied. Got your attention though, eh?) Tamra Westberry is up for Best Artist at Preditors & Editors in 2011! I’m not surprised in the least. She is unbelievably talented. Have a quick second?

Please vote for her HERE.

ALSO, I have a cover up for Best Ebook cover at Preditors & Editors. One, of course, created by Tamra Westberry herself!

I remember when I first told Tamra how I envisioned the cover for The King’s Druidess (The MacLomain Series- Prelude). How I almost saw her mouth drop open via email at what I wanted. See, I sent her some pictures to work with, others she’d have to implement. The most important picture was that of a girl (stripper) most definitely dancing around a pole and a man (most definitely from a naughty picture) and told her… this needs to look whimsical. As if both characters desire one another but can’t quite have each other. I need Ireland, ancient times… pagan times.

I think her jaw still dropped open based on the pictures I sent. *grins*

Two days later, the cover for The King’s Druidess showed up in my ‘In Box’.

WOW! Did she hit the nail on the head or what??? Using a tree from her backyard she got rid of the naughty pole. With a ghostly fog, the king became a man whom overlooked his love. Tamra did something truly AMAZING. So much so, that her cover for The King’s Druidess has been a best-seller at Amazon for over three months.

Really look at it. Pure talent. Love her!!!

Check out my NEW BOOK COVERS!!! WTG cover artist, Tamra Westberry!

Welcome! For those of you who frequent this blog, I’ll bet you’re wondering why Caroline Clemmons isn’t with us to enjoy the End of Week Character Blowout. Well, she’s having a terrible time with her computer and is struggling to do anything period with the Internet.

To Caroline… I feel your pain! Been there. It all but cripples we writers when things go wrong with our dependable computers. I’ve invited Caroline and her fabulous characters to return anytime. A Writer’s Mind’s ‘cyberdoors’ are always open.

In that I’m minus one super talented author this weekend I thought I’d share some fabulous news with you. AND some to-die-for covers.

So here’s the BIG NEWS. Very soon, I’ll be re-launching what will now be called The MacLomain Series. No worries, all the same lovable characters are still present but this time we get to know them even better. I wrote this series four years ago and quite frankly, my 'voice' has changed. AKA- my writing style. Be prepared… there may be a wee bit more sensuality. But hey, aren't we all up for a little more sex with a sizzlin' hot Highlander? Grins. Also, The King’s Druidess is now longer and without doubt, the naughtiest of the lot.

My goal is to stun the world with this series at the beginning of August as I’ll be taking that month off to spend time with family. Of course I’ll still blog but I won’t be featuring any authors.

Alrighty, I think I’ve rattled on enough. Are you ready to check out my NEW book covers??? As always, I went flying to talented cover artist TAMRA WESTBERRY and asked her to work her magic. Lemme tell ya, she didn’t let me down. Absolutely stunning work. If you’re an author passing through and would like to learn more about her services click HERE. Also, another round of thanks to cover model, Jimmy Thomas (Seen on the cover of Fate's Monolith). You're beyond delicious darlin'.

Here they are!!!
