As amazing as all your covers are so far for the 13th Floor series, the one for <i>The Marquis</i> is easily my favorite. There's a great menacing feel to it, and as an artist, I'm a little too in love with the overall composition. It's so cool how everything but his eye is saturated!Heather R.

Marc just looks so intense and rawr. <br /><br />I'm surprised werewolves are still so popular, I thought them and vampires were done with (for now) and people wanted different paranormals. I'll be interested to hear how your vamp is received.

I don't like them fluffy or sparkly though. Anne Rice has the most awesome vamps; and while I'm no chic lit fan, Charlene Harris did well with Alcie.<br /><br />Maybe agents aren't tired of vamps and were's;just tired of the angsty ancient supranormal meets average prom queen motif. All fads come to an eventual end; and readers sometimes grow up.<br /><br />But sexy, hot; never gets old, lol. You seem well on your way to writing characters ever Joss would take note of. When you love what you write, it shows Christine.<br /><br />.......dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-35915289546185328852013-01-23T02:43:44.025-05:002013-01-23T02:43:44.025-05:00Excellent discoveries!
