HALLOWEEN BASH ~ Some Rock Stars are Cover Artists!

The Wicked Witch of the West: **Evil Cackle!** Hello my pretties!!! Welcome back to my Halloween Bash! Hey, you...yes, you...drinking water! Don't throw that! Noooooooooo! I'm melting....ahhhhhhhh..I'm melting.......

(Cue the Ding Dong the Witch is Dead Music and rush Sky in the room...crazy ass old hag trying to ruin my Halloween Bash!)

**Clears throat and waves the dead witch smoke away**

Alisha: **Cough, cough** Sorry, everyone. The wicked witch is just a pile of wet clothes and broom. Welcome back to the party! Sky, I'll just kick her wet laundry out of they way. Here, have a candy corn and a glass of wine. I hear you have a fun surprise for our readers! :)

Sky: **muttering to herself with a fake smile plastered to her pretty face** Hi everyone! Guess what? It’s ‘Free Friday’ here at Alisha’s blog. Lucky me, I’ve spent the entire week at this blog and I’m well and cozied in. Might not leave. *Grins* Seriously, it’s been great fun. But it’s not over yet. I’m here today and tomorrow.

Alisha told me I could do whatever I wanted to with today’s post so I’ve decided to ‘pay it forward.’ How’s that you ask? Simple. I want to give credit to someone who has helped me sell my books. Do I have a co-writer? No. But I do have a cover artist. And quite frankly, had she not come through for me over the years, my name might not be known to this day. Yes, a cover artist is that important. And when one finds one as talented as mine, they don’t let go!



She’s so good that for the cover of The King’s Druidess, she implemented a picture of an oak tree trunk from her yard and created magic with it. She creates thousands of covers a year and did that for me. I’ll forever be ‘wowed’ by her dedication to her craft.



I’ve had this cover artist for four years and intend to keep her for at least forty more (knocks on wood).

A HUGE thank you to the talented Tamra Westberry. For your chance to win The King’s Druidess (The MacLomain Series- Prelude) and Fate’s Monolith (The MacLomain Series- Book 1)
you have to shoot over to her website, HERE, then swing back and leave just one title she’s created in a comment. To keep this fair, you must list a different one than previous commenters. Indie covers or TWRP covers. All’s good. (To keep it easy I suggest that you copy and paste her website URL, minimizing Alisha’s blog window, then copying Tamra’s URL into a new browser. That way we all stick together. *Winks*)
As you can see, all my covers are shown here and every single one she created.

Be sure to pop back in tomorrow to check out some fabulous book trailers. (You’re gonna love the intense music!) One lucky commenter will win the entire trilogy plus a box of chocolates!)



And of course, there’s that LUCKY WINNER who wins a print copy of my upcoming, The Victorian Lure!



Hugs,

Alisha: What a great way to pay it forward, Sky! Tamra is an AMAZING COVER ARTIST and I'm super thrilled that you chose to dedicate today's post to her. All of my Tamra covers ROCK because our cover artist is a ROCK STAR! ;)


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Axl is Here! Can you say YUMMY?

I'm super thrilled and excited this week! I just received my cover art from my very talented cover artist, Tamra Westberry! BTW, Tamra does freelance covers for sixty bucks. She will also design the print version of your cover, which includes the spine and the back for no additional charge! See the clickable banner at your right. It will take you directly to her cover artist site. And if you're looking for another great author, check out her books as well! She writes as Tara West.

Tamra has designed five of my covers. See Canyon Wolf Bride and The Wooden Nickel covers on the right hand side of this blog. Two of my very favorite covers! She will make changes on your cover until you are absolutely happy with the final design. A total professional.

Let me give you some examples of her creativity. I told her my book was set in Alaska. She sent me a background photo of the aurora borealis with a moon. She had the foresight to think of the Alaskan skies and to incorporate a moon since my book is about werewolves! Wow! She also came up with the cool design around the title which I didn't even mention to her because I had no way to describe what I wanted, which was some sort of cool design to offset the title and stress the word "circle", which has more meaning to the reader than you realize at first glance. Somehow her artist instinct picked up on it and came up with the very cool design! And she also knows which font will perfectly convey the tone of any book.

Do you notice anything unique about my hero's eyes? She even pays attention to tiny details like that. Pretty awesome, huh?

My cover model is gladiator, Sam Bond. I think he is just about the sexiest man alive!

Circle City: Lord of the Wolfen - Book I ~ Axl's Story will release this week! Available in ebook at Amazon and Barnes and Noble for all ereaders, Kindle, Nook, iPad, and Sony readers for .99! This is a full length paranormal erotic romance of 106,000 words.

Blurb
On the edge of civilization, there is a place called Circle City, Alaska. The last town before the Yukon Flats gives way to frigid desolation. When Zoe O'Brien, a secluded widow, kills a crazed mother wolf and saves the only cub from sure death, she ignites a war between the Wolfen Clan and the Kontar Clan. The wolf people have been enemies of the dog people for centuries and the cub she takes in is heir to the Wolfen throne. Taken prisoner by the Wolfen for murder and kidnapping, Zoe is forced to see and do things with creatures she never knew existed, held against her will in a world she both desires and fears. Axl Wolfdorn is coming of age, ready for his Unleashing and on the hunt for his Moonswan, the female he will choose for the Chase and the royal Feral Consummation. But how can he consider bonding with a mate when the only scent deep within his nose is the tangy scent of the woman who saved his life, the very woman who forced his clan into war, the woman he must now kill to avenge his mother's death?


Have a great Tuesday!
