Here’s the final cover art for Hot Mama. Basically, some of the text on the front got tweaked, and they added a cover blurb at the bottom.
I thought the Karma Girl cover was excellent, but I think I like this one just a tiny bit better. Kudos go out to artist Stanley Chow for his excellent design. Fiona Fine looks just the way I picture her in my head. Once you read the book, I think you’ll agree too.
Now that I have the cover, you know what’s coming next … bookmarks! Wha-ha-ha! 😈
So, I attended my annual family reunion this weekend. There was food. Lots of folks I haven’t seen in a while. Embarrassing childhood photos. Think me at 10 years old with pink glasses and a poofy perm. It wasn’t pretty.
Still, I had a good time catching up with folks. Cousins, cousins, and more cousins. There were about 100 of them there. My great-granparents had 8 (or maybe 9) kids. Then, they had kids. Then those folks had kids … You get the idea.
The sad thing is a lot of us live within 10 miles of each other, but they only time we get together is at the reunion. Everybody’s busy with work and (even more) kids and other things.
Oh yeah, it also rained a good part of the day Saturday. It hasn’t rained all summer, but it suddenly decided to this weekend. It never fails. We could be in the worst drought ever, and it would still rain during the family reunion. We should hire ourselves out as rainmakers and make some extra cash. 😈
What about you? Are you going to the ole family reunion this year? Inquiring minds want to know …

My agent just e-mailed and told me that Karma Girl is in this week’s issue of Publishers Weekly. It’s featured with three other comic-book novels. Here’s a link to the story. From the formatting, I can’t tell if they ran a picture or not.
But any mention in PW is a pretty big deal, especially for a newbie author like me.
Can you tell how big I’m smiling right now? Happy dance time! 😎
Now, if I can just get my hands on a hard copy … none of my local bookstores stock PW …
