Yay! I have a shiny new book cover + paperback #Giveaway

Can you tell I have a thing for shiny new book covers? LOL. I'm obsessed with them. In fact, this is the third cover change for this particular book.

Don't roll your eyes at me, silly. *smiles* I have perfectly good reasons for changing it this time.

A Valentine Challenge is coming out in paperback!
And the choir sings "Halleluyah!"

Yes, indeed. Those of you who've been waiting to get your fingers on a printed version, should be very happy. The story has been revised and extended with a few new scenes added.

Anticipated re-release date: 14 February 2014

Without further ado, I give you the new cover for A Valentine Challenge.

Yes, I know what you're thinking. Another one with an abstract / inanimate object on the cover. Well, apparently, people don't feel so shy about picking up a paperback with an inanimate object on the cover as opposed to having half-naked people on the cover. *shrugs* I read that somewhere.

So what do you think? Do you like it? If you think there's anything I should change on it, let me know. I'm happy to fiddle with it a bit more.

Feel free to enter the Goodreads giveaway. I'm giving away 5 paperback copies.

Cover Reveal: His Princess (Men of Valor, #3)

Happy Monday, friends. What a great start to the week. Please join me in my excitement as I share the cover of His Princess, the third book in the Men of Valor historical romance series set in West Africa. The ebook is out July 20, 2012 published by Breathless Press.

As always, I love what my cover artist has done here. While the cover for His Treasure is still my favourite, this one comes a very close second. I just love it. Don’t you?

Thrusty Thursday – Judge A Book By Its Cover

Hello Readers. Yesterday I did a little experiment on Facebook. Well, it wasn’t very scientific and probably didn’t cover a broad spectrum of my readership but it produced an interesting result.

I asked people to vote for their preferred cover out of these two.

A total of 52 people voted. 40 voted for A. 12 voted for B. Overwhelming, right? You’d think I’d go ‘Yeah, my job here is done’ and put my feet up. After all, I have a cover most people liked. Nope. Read the comments below and I’ll explain why I still have my work cut out.

Thrusty Thursday - Unveiling Book Cover no3

Hello readers, it’s not very often I do two posts in one week but this is a special week. On Monday I unveiled the cover to His Strength, the 2nd in the Men of Valor historical romance mini-series which is out February 10.

Today, I’d like to share with you the cover art for my contemporary romance novella due out January 30, 2012. A Valentine Challenge is set mainly in Enugu, Nigeria. Here’s the blurb.

Ex-soldier Michael Ede has spent his time building his life exactly the way he wants it. Life is good. Or so he thinks. So when his friends set him a challenge to exorcise the memory of a woman from his past, he expects it to be a walk in the park.

Socialite Kasie Bosa is spitting fire at men. Her long-term boyfriend has asked for a break via text message of all things. How dare he? She’s told him to go take a dive into the River Niger. And not so politely too. So the next man who dares to cross her path is at risk of getting shredded with her spa manicured nails.

New Year, New Cover, New Books

Hello everyone. Happy New Year! I hope that 2012 meets you healthy and hearty.

2011 was a fantastic year for me—I signed my first publishing contract and published my first book, meaning that I achieved a goal I’d set for myself at the beginning of the year. Read my thanksgiving postwhere I listed several reasons for me to be thankful in 2011.

For 2012, I have upped the ante on my goals, pushing myself even further. So I hope you’ll stay with me as I aim to break new grounds this year. This year, expect more from me. More projects, more excerpts, more freebies and more all round fun.

To kick off the New Year, I’d like to unveil the cover of my next book, His Strength, Men of Valor #2. It is out February 10, 2012. This is the story of Ikem and Nneka who are briefly mentioned in His Treasure. Visit My Books page to read the blurb. You can also read an excerpt. I’d like to thank my cover artist Mina Carter for capturing the characters very well. I love it. Don’t you? J

Thrusty Thursday - Debut Book Cover

Hello readers, welcome back to Thrusty Thursday. I have exciting news today.

Apart from the hard graft of editing and revising a manuscript in preparation for publication, other things happen in the background. Like reviewing and signing off the final cover art for the book. For me this is the most anticipated milestone outside of the publication date. As a visual person, covers are what attract me to books. They lead me to read the blurbs and find out more about the content of the book.

Today I can finally reveal the cover for my debut book titled His Treasure due out in December 2011. It’s a historical romantic fiction set in the region now referred to as South Eastern, Nigeria or Igboland and is part of the 3-book Men of Valor mini-series.

I am so excited about this book, in fact the whole series, as it would be the first of its kind to be published for the romance reading mass-market. Where else would you find a purely African historical romantic book or series? If I’m wrong, I’m sure someone will correct me.

Anyway, without further ado, here’s the cover for His Treasure. Ta-da!
