 Widow’s Web inner cover |
So I can finally share the cover art for Widow’s Web, the seventh book in my Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series that will be out on Aug. 21. Huzzah!
Although, this time, there’s a twist.
The paperback copies will actually have two covers — an outer white cover (above left) and an inner blue cover (above right). Basically, the white cover is a flap that you open up to see the inner cover. This is called a step-back cover. Pretty cool, huh?
So when you go to your local bookstore or want to order the paperback version online, be on the lookout for the white cover.

However, if you plan on getting the e-book, be on the lookout for the blue cover, since that’s what will be used for the e-book versions. The e-book cover (above) is basically the same art as the inner cover, but with my name and the title of the book on it. And once again, the art by Tony Mauro on the blue cover is just fantastic.
Here’s a little more info about the book. Please note that there are a few mild spoilers here, if you haven’t read By a Thread yet:
My name is Gin, and I kill people. It’s something I’ve been doing for years as the assassin called Spider, but now, it’s turned into a necessity on my part just to survive all the lowlifes in Ashland who are gunning for me. The underworld is still in turmoil, and I seem to be on everyone’s hit list these days.
To add to Gin’s problems, her lover Owen’s ex is in town. Salina is back in Ashland to reclaim an old family legacy — and she thinks that Owen is hers for the taking. Also in the mix is Phillip Kincaid, a casino owner and all-around shady character who has a mysterious connection to both Owen and Salina.
Salina might seem like a sweet Southern belle, but there’s more to her than meets the eye. Her water elemental magic makes her a dangerous enemy — and someone who can go toe-to-toe with Gin’s Ice and Stone power. But Gin is determined to get to the bottom of Salina’s deadly scheme, even though it just might cost her everything … including Owen.
Basically, this book delves into Owen’s past. Readers will find out how Owen survived when he was living on the streets with his younger sister, Eva, as well as more about his relationships with Salina and Kincaid.
Widow’s Web is up for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and other booksellers. Hope everyone enjoys the book when it comes out.
