Cover for Mammoth Book of Paranormal Romance and a CONTEST
The winner of the Winter Solstice contest is: Chelsea! Congratulations, Chelsea. Send me your email address so I can contact you about your gift card choice. Thanks so much to everyone who participated. Happy Solstice to all!
Here's the cover for the Mammoth Book of Paranormal Romance, which contains my story, "Blood Song." It will be released April, 2009 here in the USA (Feb., 09 in the UK). Just for fangs and giggles, I'm going to hold a contest until the Winter Solstice (my second favorite holiday after Halloween/Samhain!). Okay, here's the deal: Leave a comment, telling me what the fellow on the cover is thinking. Be creative (but remember that kids read this blog, too!) I'll pick a winner on the evening of Dec. 21 (the longest night -- what a delicious metaphor) and the winner will receive -- drum roll -- a $25 gift certificate from Borders or Barnes & Noble (your choice).So, there you go. Have at it!

There's a wolf howling in my ear and it's really freaking annoying.
How the heck can I get this dang goatee to grow in evenly already?!?!
"When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a bloody full moon and the howl of my dear lover's fear."
I'm not sure what he's thinking, but he seriously reminds me of Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday from Tombstone. Right now, I have Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday's voice in my head, however, I can't pick up on what he's saying, but I am so totally loving just listening to him talk.
Look into my eyes, you are now my love slave. lol
come hither my love, the dusk doth approach and I want you...
"Listen wolf, cease your useless howling! This is my cover, do you hear? Mine! Now where was I? Ah yes, give those human women a taste of my sinfully immortal yet approachable look."
Come into my parlour........

If that guy shoves his stupid camera in my face one more time, I'm going to lose it!
Let's go Howling tonight.
Don't enter me in the contest, I just wanted to play. I'm in the anthology too. Woot.
"Is there a wolf on my shoulder or am I just happy to see you? Both, my love. Both."
''They put way too much blush on me. I mean I'm supposed to look like a vampire, why do I need blush? And I know that little piece of hair is out of place on my forehead again. Wait, I'm doing a photo shoot. Ok. Think like a vampire! Look like a vampire! Look sexy! Look smoldering! Sell this book with your hypnotizing stare and magical vampy powers!''
Look into my eyes. You are one of us. Fear me not.
Dont be afraid. Come with me, you know you want to. Lets talk in a quiet place without this wolf howling.
He's saying..I know I'm attractive...but do you have enough to hold my interest?
-I love Lydia's comment!!
The wolf keeps whispering to me that she can make my wilodest dreams come true.
"Should I believe her?"
"Look into my eyes". Thats what I think he's thinking.
Whew!! on the cover, love it!
I say "My eyes adore you, my eyes have you"
Namamrita D Gibbs:
Come my beloved, I will show you what a full moon lit night entails. Let me take you away from the howling of the wolf and protect you from other dangers of the night. Do you trust me? Fear not. Come let us go. Let us not waste any time. We have a long night of adventure ahead of us.
I'm really a wolf, too, like him. This is how I look when I turn back into a human.
Thanks so much, everyone! These comments are great. You're all so creative!

Did I get all the chocolate milk mustache off? Are you sure? Okay, take the picture...

He's an incubus and he's thinking: "I'll be your naughty little demon tonight."
Can't wait to read the book.
Chelsea
You foolish little thing, run all you want, you can't escape me. I've got your scent now and the hunt is on, grrr!
I think the vampire is thinking:
"Wolf, it's what's for dinner."
or
"Wolf, the other white meat."
He's thinking I'm intrugued and want to investigate futher that which has caught my attention.
Are your eyes changing to a wonderful shade of green? Oh! They are actually glowing. Come howl with me under the full moon, and we will have delicious fun discovering what makes each other tick. "growl!"
"I'm so sexy, I set the moon on fire"
To explain...it's a wolf howling at what I would ASSUME to be the moon, but it looks like a ball of fire...so there you have it, he's so sexy, he sets the moon on fire, and he knows!
What a fun contest. :)

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!
"Look deep into my eyes.........no, really, I can stare you down, I won 1st place when I was 10."
"This collar is so tight, I wish someone would come loosen it for me."
:) He looks like a priest! The moon is pretty though.
Hey Lynda!
Love the cover and oh what could he be thinking...
"Yes I will devour you and you will like it." or
"Is she really yelling at me? She must not realize I could aet her right up." (Smirking!)

He's wishing the wolf would stop howling already about how amusing his mustache is-he's trying to be appealing ;)
He's thinking, "Hey! You want fries with that wolf burger?"

yep. i'm getting old. i keep thinking: these guys are to young for me. whats wrong with a hot guy in his late 30's or up? strong and substantial looking, seen a little weather?
He is thinking "..shut up wolf.. this mustache looks good on me.. honest! okay.. maybe it is a little.. thin.. hey.. it's the latest look in facial fuzz.."

"Oh my...stop the howling...you know you are just jealous because everyone is looking at me!!"
"Now come, sweet, don't tell me you haven't heard that paranormals are the hottest genre in romance."
When the moon
appears to be the sun,
don't look into my eyes
turn around and RUN!

Love the comments-Lissa
Want to know what the wolf is whispering in my ear? Come closer and I'll tell you...
"I know something you don't know!"
Hmmmm! I'd love to find some to howl like that for me.
He's thinking: "How much longer do I have to stand here and give come-hither eyes for? Haven't they gotten the shot yet? The world is on fire and there's a hungry wolf over there, and we're not done with the shoot yet!"
He's thinking... I am going to do the Love spell tonight, the moon is full and magick is stronger, and I will get what I want
