1301 - The Marquis cover reveal

Title: 1301 - The Marquis

Author: Christine Rains

Genre: paranormal romance

Release date: December 13th (tentatively)

Life after Hell isn't more exciting than watching football and fixing a busted pipe. Once a powerful demon, Marc enjoys his quiet existence and a good cup of coffee. With big ambitions to gain his master's favor, a trickster demon named Vetis shatters Marc's peace and vows to deliver Marc's head to the fires of Hell. Not before he destroys everything Marc cares about, of course.

Marc's power has diminished over the years. Heaven will never grant him absolution, and he refuses to return to Hell. Running isn't an option. The city of Carmine is his territory. It's also home to his favorite cafe owner, Mae Hopkins. The dame has a lovely smile, but it's her heart and soul that shine bright.

While his city burns and his love is captured, Marc must decide to surrender or let hate and anger fuel him to become the fearsome beast he so loathes: The Marquis. If the Marquis rises, Vetis can be defeated and Mae saved, but Marc would be lost to his demon forever.

Isn't the cover awesome? My stomach still flip-flops when I look at it. Thank you to everyone who participated in the cover reveal. The response has been fantastic. You guys are the best!

In case you missed my Wednesday post about The 13th Floor series, I'm revealing the cover for the first novella on November 13th. If you would like to take part in the cover reveal, please email me and put "1301 cover reveal" in the subject heading. I'll send you all the info. My email address is christinerains [dot] writer @ gmail [dot] com.

I'm tentatively setting a release date for the first novella as December 13th. I want to have it out before Christmas at least. I'll know more if I can meet that deadline within the next few weeks. Then I can start to organize a blog tour.

I'm tremendously excited about my covers for The 13th Floor series. I actually have the covers for the first three already done. They're absolutely brilliant! I'd love to share all three right away, but I know, I know. I need to build up the anticipation and tease readers with several reveals rather than just one. But, oh, I love these covers!

Have a fantastic weekend! And for those participating in NaNoWriMo, write, write, WRITE!
