COVER REVEAL COVER REVEAL COVER REVEAL COVER REVEAL

This posted yesterday, but I'm posting it again today. For some reason, when I post two things in one day, the email reminder doesn't go out for the second post. So, if you missed it yesterday, here it is again!

The cover reveal for the Power of the Matchmaker series!!!





Aren't those great covers? I'm excited to read each and every book.

The prequel novella is available for pre-order HERE.

You can read more about each book or add the series to GOODREADS HERE.






My sisters think I’m crazy.

But, I’ve never forgotten the mysterious woman from my childhood who told me Paul is the name of my one true love.
She told me to search far and wide for him.
I haven’t stopped looking ever since.

When I stumble across an article about a successful American entrepreneur named Paul who lives and works in China, I’m intrigued. When the opportunity to teach English in China presents itself on the same day, I know it’s not a coincidence.

It’s destiny.

My sisters say I’m chasing a dream.

Just like the fireflies we tried to catch on the warm summer evenings of our youth, the dream seems beyond my grasp.   Will my quest for the elusive Paul always be just short of fulfillment?

My sisters tell me it’s a fool’s errand.

Until I remind them of the day we saw the Red Bird.
The memory silences them.
The Red Bird Incident remains inarguable—and proves my search for Paul is not a silly fantasy.

I will find Paul . . . I will.

COVER REVEAL!
Brand new covers for Lancaster House and The Middle Aisle!
~A paranormal romance series by Taylor Dean~

In honor of the new covers:
99 cents for Thursday and Friday!
1.99 for Saturday and Sunday!


I love my OLD covers. (Pictured on the left.) I really do. They're different from the norm and that's why they captured my attention.

For Lancaster House, I liked the idea of a hand reaching out from the grave. It seemed appropriate to the story; Andre reaches out to Zoe from beyond the grave. It was Carrie-like and kind of creepy.


There's just one problem. 

This is not a horror novel. Not at all. This is a paranormal romance. People who like horror are drawn to the cover and are sadly disappointed when they realize it's a romance.

People who love paranormal romance are turned off by the cover because it looks too creepy.

                                                          In other words, the cover just wasn't working.

I love The Middle Aisle cover because it matched Lancaster House so perfectly. And part of the story takes place in Monterey, California. Monterey is known for its Cypress trees. The tree on the cover of The Middle Aisle reminded me of a Cypress tree and seemed perfect.

But, if the right people aren't reading the first book, no one will ever read the second one no matter what the cover looks like!

Bam! Decision made!

It was time for new covers for Lancaster House and The Middle Aisle! I love the new covers because they speak so perfectly as to what's on the inside.



Without further ado, here they are, the new covers!

MONDAY MUSINGS: COVER REVEAL!

Today on Monday Musings, I am going to reveal the cover of my next book,
I'm With You!

If you follow my blog, then you know I go back and forth on my cover decisions. But I LOVE this cover and do NOT feel undecided on this choice at all!




Can three little words irrevocably change your life?

When the doctors inform Chloe Brennan that her pregnancy is “incompatible with life,” her subsequent choices will change her path forever.
She becomes one of the quiet, unsung heroes of this world, incredibly strong, yet somehow wrongly looked upon as damaged.
Three people will pierce Chloe’s existence: her husband, a stranger, and a precious baby.
One will say goodbye, one will say hello, and one will say both at the same time.
I’m With You is a novel about selfless love and the sacredness of life.

My daughter designs my covers for me and she does a fabulous job. The original background was a light pink. She superimposed one of her own photos of a night sky over the image and changed the color to grey. The results: a romantic starry night!
I love it!

With the the holidays just around the corner, and the fact that I'll have three of my children home and one grandbaby, I've changed my release date to:
March 1st, 2014.

Currently I am still editing this book. Then it will go to my editor.  Once that's done it will be off to the ebook formatter. All of these things take soooo much time and I know that NOTHING will get done over the holiday season! March 1st is a safe, I-can-make-this-deadline prediction.
Sorry for the delay, but I'd prefer to put my best work out there and not rush the creative process!

A few thoughts about I'm With You:
When my daughter received the news that she was having a Trisomy 18 baby, we were devastated. "Incompatible with life" is the official medical term that refers to Trisomy 18.
After going through the experience with my daughter, I knew I wanted to write about it. 
But, I write Romance novels and I wasn't quite sure how I would go about it.
Slowly, a story developed in my mind and I'm With You came about. It is a Romance novel that includes a Trisomy 18 story.
The Trisomy 18 story is based upon my daughter's experience, with her permission.
I am happy to help increase awareness of this devastating condition and to share the heartfelt emotions that accompany it.
The couples that face this diagnosis truly are an example to the world of selfless love.

So what do you think? Do you like my new cover?

COVER REVEAL

A book reviewer friend of mine wrote her debut novel and I signed up to participate in her cover reveal . . . so here it is!


Gorgeous cover! Congrats Brandy!


Again by Brandy Jeffus
Release Date: May 15th, 2013

Blurb:

From recess buddies to high school sweethearts, Eli Stone and Bonnie Jinks were constants in each other’s lives. Although young, their relationship had withstood the test of many teenage tribulations. Marriage and a happy ever after were in their future plans.

One alcohol fueled mistake rips them apart. Bonnie ends up on the road with her new boyfriend while Eli joins the military. It seems as if their lives would never intersect again.

A near fatal accident brings them together and their chemistry is undeniable. But will the pain of the past keep them apart? Can they make their love work again?
