Let Sleeping Demons Lie

The latest on Let Sleeping Demons Lie!

Hi y'all!

Since it's hot off the press -- er... make that hot off my email in-box -- I thought I'd show you the cover for my next Demons novella, Let Sleeping Demons Lie.

Ta daaaaaa!



Considering the Tall, Blond and Handsome? post I did a couple of months back, you might think it's ironic that my cover hero has longish blond hair. Well, perhaps more tawny-blond -- exactly like a lion's mane. But that's precisely the kind of hair I wanted him to have, given that he is a lion shape-shifter.

And the heroine is a stunner -- pretty much exactly how I pictured her when I wrote her. She's certainly getting high praise from the guys who've seen the cover. Hmmm. I wonder why? ;-)

Actually, she's looking pretty damn composed considering what I put her through in this particular story. She’s been stripped of everything — her memories, her demonic powers, and her clothes! — and dumped in the Lycan Realm. And those of you who’ve read the first novella will doubtless have an excellent idea of just who might be to blame for her plight, too. But shhhhhh, that’ll be our secret ;-). To add insult to injury, our Lycan lion hero nicknames her “Kitten”!

Here’s the short ‘n’ sweet teaser I provided to Red Sage for publicity purposes:

Let Sleeping Demons Lie:
Kitten is stripped of her memories and transported to the Lycan Realm. Lion shifter, Brennan, claims her body… and her heart. When they learn what kind of creature she truly is, a match made in heaven goes straight to Hell!

Meow! Kitty vs Lion — watch the fur fly! *VBG*

Me? I'm totally in love with this cover -- as you can probably tell!

This particular Angels & Demons installment is set entirely in the Lycan Realm, which is a savage, untamed place. So I love the way that's been conveyed in the cover. Likewise, with the fiery sky and the flames at the bottom, which for me harken to the Demon Realm.

And before I sign off, I've gotta thank Tuesday, my cover artist from Purple Ink Graphics and Designs for doing fabulous job on this! (She also did my cover for Even Demons Get The Blues, BTW.)

So, whaddya think?

Cheers,
