A new cover!
I love getting new covers. This is for my story, “Thicker Than Blood,” in the FIRST BLOOD anthology that comes out in August.

Awesome — this is somewhat off-topic, but I’ve always wondered, who picks/approves/designs the covers for your books?
LOVE the red cover!!! And aren’t you so happy that it’s of a woman’s back! I know how much you love those… if only she had a tat.
That is so fricken hot!! I look so good in that black dress!
So… what did you write for this anthology?
L@@K! Meljean posted an excerpt here!
How did I miss this before?! Or is it brand spanking new!?
bnjammin — I’m planning a post about that pretty soon. But the short answer is, although I do put in my suggestions about the look of the book (not for anthologies, though–they usually just have a theme they’re going with — this one is blood/vampires/sex/action, obviously
) and tell my editor which covers out there I like that I think would fit my story, it’s primarily all done between the editorial, art, and marketing departments.
Christine — I do love the back … but on this one, I have to admit its her quadriceps that I’m admiring most. Those are some amazing pegs.
katiebabs — new characters, with brief appearances by a few old friends
Christine found the excerpt.
Christine — it’s been up for about a month, but I just got the cover, so this is the first time I’ve brought attention to it and linked it from the blog
