One of my guilty secrets as a writer is that I am utterly clueless about covers. Really, I am not a visual person at all, and for me, the cover doesn’t really matter.

Or at least, that’s how I used to be. Since becoming involved in book promotions and publishing, I’ve become maybe just a tad more discerning. At least I can tell you what covers are bad. . .that’s a step in the right direction!

So without further ado, here are some of my favorite covers.

This book isn’t even out yet, but the cover just intrigues me. The finger under her chin. . .that grabs my heart. It probably doesn’t hurt that Christine designed my covers as well-I like her style!

I also love Jesi Lea Ryan’s cover for Arcadia’s Gift. It’s evocative of the whole story. . .

Mandie Steven’s cover for Dream Jumper is gorgeous. Can’t wait for this book and was so happy to put the cover at the end of ENDLESS!

This is an upcoming book, too, Eddie Santiago’s soon-to-be released debut through Hayson Publishing. Isn’t it gorgeous?

Of course, I am partial to my own covers. . .I think they’re absolutely beautiful. And since the experts tell me they are, who am I to argue??

I happen to adore C. G. Powell, author of SPELL CHECKED and IMMORTAL VOYAGE. So excited about her next book, FIREWALL.

I’m thrilled to share with you the cover for this book. . .and below it, a special sneak peek preview of the book itself.

Firewall (book 2 No Uncertain Logic Series) by C.G. Powell

“I hate to cut things short, but the sooner we get down to business the better.  I’ve made arrangements for a transport to take us to the Atlantis which is sitting in the Meranna Sea.”

Before Sarik could finish, Jael interrupted. “When did you move the ship?”

“Shortly after you left for Ibis Prime.  Orion felt he needed to keep an eye on me once Aphrodite arrived, so he sent a team to assist the move closer to the capital city.”  He looked to Neria and Aphrodite.  “Ladies, if you will follow me.  I will take you to the transport.”

They walked to a smaller docking area where a transporter ship was awaiting them.  Neria’s bags were already on board, as was Captain Ross.

Sarik raised one brow.  “How did you get here so quick?”

Captain Ross cleared his throat and rolled his eyes toward the cockpit where Tal sat.

“I thought you didn’t trust mist traveling?”  Sarik laughed.

“It took a while to get used to, but it has its benefits if you can get past the nausea and the whole cellular disintegration reassembly thing.”

Sarik nudged the captain with his elbow.  “Are you sure it has nothing to do with quantum entanglement with a certain Jinn?”

Speechless, Captain Ross’ reddened face spoke volumes.  He excused himself and joined Tal in the cockpit.

Looping her arm in Sarik’s, Jael frowned and continued towards the passenger area of the transport.  “Why do you tease the poor Captain?  I think it quaint that he has taken a liking to Tal even if she doesn’t return his affections.”

“What kind of friend would I be, if I didn’t acknowledge his obvious fondness?”

“Do you really want me entertain your question with an answer?”

“No, not really.”

Over the intercom the captain’s voice boomed, “Good morning, this is your captain.  Today’s flight should be a clear shot to the Meranna Sea area.  We have favorable atmospheric conditions and low level winds upon approach.  Our estimated arrival is 14:80 standard atomic time.  That’s half-past lunch for those of you who still struggle with the local atomic conversion.”

Jael, Salima, and Aphrodite all turned and looked at Sarik.

Purse-lipped, Sarik stood and yelled toward the cockpit.  “Okay, you win.  Now get us the hell out of here.”

When I was a freshman in high school, my seat in English class was right in front of the teacher. I always had a reading book, because who knew when there would be down time?

So Mr. Eck got in the habit of checking out what I was reading each day. About a month into the school year, he looked at me and said, “Miss Thompson, you are the most eclectic reader I’ve ever met.”

It’s true. On any given day, I might be deep in a historical romance, an urban fantasy, a post-apocalyptic YA thriller, a spiritual non-fic, a biography of a former Queen of England or an 18th century poet. . .you name it. To say I am not particular about the genre of my reading material is an understatement.

I guess that’s why I am not genre-specific when it comes to writing, either. I enjoyed writing The King Series, which are YA/New Adult urban fantasy, but I’m just as excited now to be writing an adult contemporary romance and a paranormal adult series.

At the moment, I am intrigued with new adult contemporary romance, having read a slew of really good ones. As always, I’m also drawn to paranormal, whether it is YA, new adult or adult.

The great thing about being so versatile is that I’m never bored, and there’s always another book to read. . .or write.
