COVER REVEAL for BLACK WIDOW (Book 1 in The Black Widow Series)

10/31/2016

Picture
Finally, it's cover reveal day!  And Halloween, too! Coincidence?  I think not.  

I'm so excited to share the cover for BLACK WIDOW and the beginning of this epic tale with my readers.  This book has been two years in the making and I'm so excited to finally start getting out of my head and into the hands of readers.


BLACK WIDOW (Book 1 in The Black Widow Series)

“I bet I could make you fall in love in a week.” 
The offer seals Scott Russell’s fate.
After a bitter betrayal and an ugly divorce, the detective is forced to make a fresh start. His new position in a quiet suburb should be a walk in the park compared to his years in Chicago. However, he quickly learns that small towns come with their own issues, with citizens who are slow to forgive and even slower to forget.

The town’s wealthy and reclusive author is a mystery to most. To Scott, she’s just another nameless girl on the train. With a reserved smile and shoes worth more than a month’s rent, his only concern is that she might be out of his league.
“I can give you seven days, but not my heart.” 
​
The acceptance is one more in a string of lies.
Celeste Smythe doesn’t believe in love at first sight. Relationships take time and sometimes even that isn’t enough. Not with the secrets she harbors in her guarded heart. Yet fate keeps pushing her toward the handsome and absurdly persistent man, and resisting may be more than she can endure, no matter the risks.
When the week is over, Scott may think he knows her. Celeste may know she loves him. But when the truth is revealed about the town’s most talked about citizen, he may discover he’s put much more than his heart on the line. 

*Each book in this three-book series will release approximately 3-4 months apart*

Help me! This guy needs a name.
Picture
Naming a character should be the easiest part. The physical description, their personality traits, dialog ticks … that should be the tough stuff.  But, I fuss over names. And the more books I write, the harder it becomes. 
 
In the beginning, I let real life inspire my characters’ names. The supporting character list from the Joy books reads like the character list in my real life.  Even the title refers to a dear friend. My fictional characters have nothing in common with their real life counterparts. That was never the point. The name is simply a tribute to its owner for putting up with me (which is a feat, let me tell you).
 
The downside of that is I now have villains named after sweet, caring, wonderful people.  I also have a character who, not thinking ahead, I named after my son. Now, I’d love to write a spin-off book for this character, but the name alone is a recipe for writer’s block. Trust me. I've tried. 
Picture
Well I’m at it again--knee deep in my current work in progress and spinning my wheels while I pluck names from the ether. I’m currently stuck on the letter “C.” Celeste. Camille. Cal.  Curt.  Like a broken record player, I keep trying to name every character with a name that begins with the letter "C."   
 
Help me avoid an absolute alliteration abomination (see what I did there)!  

​Here’s your chance to get your name in print. Or your enemy’s. Most of you know, how I like to kill off characters. Want somebody dead? Just put in a request.  Characters who currently need names:
​
  • Male/ Mid-thirties/ethnicity TBD:  He's been the hero's partner for many years with the exception of a brief lapse when the hero made detective before he did. This character stands on high moral ground, and due to one or both of their actions, the hero has now taken a new job with a police department in a wealthy suburb of Chicago. This character has a reoccurring role in the book as the hero’s best friend and a voice of reason.
  • Female/Mid to late-fifties/Caucasian:  This character is my heroine’s mother. She’s exceptionally wealthy, but sweet as sugar (even sugar burns sometimes). She remains married to the hero’s father, a controlling man who has an estranged relationship with his daughter. I anticipate writing a few chapters from this character’s point of view, as she has a unique and complicated relationship with and view of her daughter. 

Have a suggestion? Comment below with your proposed names for either or both of the characters. Selected winner(s) will receive a signed paperback when the book is published as well as their names in the acknowledgments.  

​I can't wait to see what you come up with!
