I HEART ROBOT Cover Art from Suzanne van Rooyen

I'm not the most artistically inclined. While I do love art and have been known to bust out the pencils and paints myself, it's not an area where I'd consider myself particularly talented. In short, I knew that cover design was something best left to the professional and I had every confidence in Month9Books.

I am so grateful to Georgia McBride for allowing me to have the amount of input I did when it came to cover creation for I Heart Robot. This is a novel that is as much about a civil rights struggle in a futuristic, post-war city as it is about romance, and we wanted a cover that reflected both elements. Finding the right balance between romance and science fiction was a tall order, but Month9Books delivered in spades by presenting me with two stylistically different covers. I loved elements of both, and by working closely with the cover artist and with Georgia we managed to combine all the best parts of both original covers into what we have today: a cover that reflects the gritty world my characters live in while emphasizing the fact that this is above all, a love story.

Sixteen-year-old Tyri wants to be a musician and wants to be with someone who won't belittle her musical aspirations. 

Q-I-99 aka 'Quinn' lives in a scrap metal sanctuary with other rogue droids. While some use violence to make their voices heard, demanding equal rights for AI enhanced robots, Quinn just wants a moment on stage with his violin to show the humans that androids like him have more to offer than their processing power. 

Tyri and Quinn's worlds collide when they're accepted by the Baldur Junior Philharmonic Orchestra. As the rift between robots and humans deepens, Tyri and Quinn's love of music brings them closer together, making Tyri question where her loyalties lie and Quinn question his place in the world. With the city on the brink of civil war, Tyri and Quinn make a shocking discovery that turns their world inside out. Will their passion for music be enough to hold them together while everything else crumbles down around them, or will the truth of who they are tear them apart?

[COVER REVEAL REDUX] Phasms: Infinite Potential, by Barbara Garren

So, Barb has been undergoing a bit of an adventure with this book, but despite any trials and tribulations - I think this is the best thing to happen.  This new cover is frickin' sweet.  In my opinion, it's the cover this book was born to have.  It really captures the essence of the story and it makes me feel all squishy and excited.

Without further ado... *whips back curtain and toots trumpets*

BUH-BLAM.

Synopsis:

For Kelsi Thomas, losing her husband seems like the worst thing that could happen. It's not.

Twenty-three year old Kelsi always knows when bad things are coming, but even she never thought she'd lose Jamie after three years of marriage. Since he died, she's been living her worst nightmare.

Her nights are filled with dreams of a Dark-Haired Man, and her days are full of guilt. The Man fills her with longing and confusion, promising to giver her all she needs, all she wants, all she feared she'd never have again.

If only the dreams would stay in her head, where they belong.

Kelsi starts seeing the Dark-Haired Man in her waking life, shadowing her wherever she goes. And when her mysterious new neighbor, Aiden Hardt, knows about the Man in her dreams, Kelsi worries she can't trust her own mind. 

"He's not what he seems." 

Aiden's cryptic words don't frighten Kelsi as much as the way she feels around him. Kelsi must sort through her emotions and figure out what's real, before she can ever hope to have a normal life again. 

Author Info:

I'm a writer, a reader and a frequenter of the more charming sites in town, namely pubs.

Born and raised in Southern California, I left to explore the world courtesy of the U.S. Navy. I've lived in San Francisco, New York and Norfolk, Virginia, but prefer to call San Diego home these days, with my husband, Henry (the inspiration for all the romance).

When not working on my next novel or reading a good book, I can be found running after my grandchildren, my dog and my sanity.

I believe a well-rounded diet consists of coffee, scotch, chocolate, popcorn and Luna Bars - in that order - and have been accused of violating grammar and etiquette rules in at least seven countries. My Muse is a Valkyrie named Prue, so look out.
