Cover Reveals and a snippet from Razher II
I love creating covers and promos. I learned Photoshop (my daughter was so patient with me 🙂 ) but I also work with Paint.net. The covers serve as both ads for upcoming releases, and to showcase the beauty and variety among of women of color.
The Stone Hero is the sequel to The Stone Boy. All the characters from The Stone Boy are back, and it gives me a chance to introduce a deaf Afro-Cuban teen named Trayvon Wilfredo Lima who has his own book:
Now, here’s a scene from Razher, Rise of the Gargoyles:

How We Do
Still tweaking The Stone Boy. I didn’t get a chance to devote as much time to editing as I’d wanted. My 9 to 5 was quite hectic this week.
More promos for upcoming books:

Updates on sequels and business moves
Excerpts from the sequel to Jukebox are almost done and I hope to have them up shortly.
What’s surprising is how readers have responded to RAZHER.
A bit of background on this novel. It was submitted to Alloy Entertainment (Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl) a few years ago and Alloy passed on it, but I always thought having a vampire who rises to Marvin Gaye and loves to dance, and pairing him with a Maori/African American she-wolf was a bit different than the usual paranormal stories. Adding more characters of color, like Andre Santana (Hispanic werewolf) and Havoc Xian (Chinese Gargoyle) plus an assortment of others might work if it found an audience.
And somehow, it has.
The release date for THE STONE BOY had to be pushed to next week, so I do apologize for the delay.
We’re doing location scouting for HEAVEN and trying to find the right dog(s) to play Myst.

The Stone Boy and a new cover for QUEENSREALM
The free six chapter download for The Stone Boy ends tomorrow. The excerpt is paired with a sneak peek of FURIES.
Currently working on: Promo materials for QUEENSREALM.
Here’s the new cover:

What is QUEENSREALM? Well, it’s a dystopian tale of earth, where man and woman are at war. There’s a virgin alien hero, a reluctant leader, a homicidal child, and lots of sex and betrayal.
I’ll have more promo material up shortly.

New Sneak Peek up on Amazon
There’s a six chapter excerpt of The Stone Boy up on Amazon.com
It’s listed at 99 cents, however the free download will start on Friday, which means the release date of the full book has been pushed to next week.
I use these Sneak Peeks as a way to promote upcoming ebooks and also to spread the word on wikkid.sexy.cool.com
Now I’m working on the promos for QUEENSREALM, an adult scifi. Like all our novels, Queensrealm has a romance at the center of the story. I hope to have most of the promo material up by later in the day.
