A new Cover...have a heart

I've been working on my Kate Rothwell books lately but I do have a Summer Devon bit of news--or rather I have something to show you. I just got my cover for "Protecting Miss Samuels" a historical short story that'll be in the ARe collection.

This is the first time I've seen one of my covers and thought hey! That's my character in the flesh!

Here, making its public debut, is my new cover.



Being a hypercritical person I'm also thinking the fashionable yet virginal Miss Samuels wouldn't wear such large jewelry or a low-cut gown like that, but that's okay
. Her face is absolutely perfect and I love the slightly muted colors of the cover.

I've seen a number of covers from this big All Eromance fundraiser, and I've liked them all. I've also read Bonnie Dee's story and can tell you it's a treat.

Want to know more about the great collection? Here. I'm stealing the information straight from Jackie Kessler's blog.

28 Days of Heart!

All Romance eBooks Has Heart…

Just ask the American Heart Association. During the month of love, when everyone’s attention is focused on matters of the heart, All Romance eBooks (www.allromance.com) will help fight the number one killer of women, heart disease with the 28 Days of Heart campaign.

Beginning February 1, 2010, ARe will release one new short story per day for the entire month. All proceeds from the sale of these shorts, which will be offered exclusively on AllRomance.com as individual eBooks, will be donated to the American Heart Association (www.americanheart.org).

The stories cover all the genres, from gay to interracial, paranormal to historical, contemporary to sci fi. They were generously donated by both best-selling and up-and-coming authors from some of your favorite publishers including Kensington, Berkley, Pocket, St. Martin’s Press, Ellora’s Cave, Cerridwen, Samhain, Total E Bound, Loose Id, Phaze, Liquid Silver, Torquere Press, Siren, Amber Quill and more!

The stories range between 9,000 and 20,000 words so they are a perfect sweet (or more accurately spicy) Valentine treat. Each include a forward by author Charlaine Harris (of True Blood fame) as a show of support for the charity the stories will benefit. Enjoy one of each and know you are helping a good cause at the same time.
