RULEBREAKER Cover
Liv Braxton, a small-time thief stuck on a backwater planet, takes on the gig of a lifetime filling in as executive assistant at Exeter Mining Company. Her job is to download incriminating files, but Liv finds herself unexpectedly torn when she falls for Zia Talbot, the beautiful and alluring VP she is supposed to betray.
When I saw this for the first time, my jaw dropped and I felt myself getting all faklempt. Can you blame me? It’s a gorgeous cover, and I can’t thank the art team at Carina Press or the artist at Croco Designs enough for the perfect rendition of Liv and Zia. That’s them, I said to myself.
Perfect.
The cover shows Liv and Zia’s strength and vulerability, two characteristics I love in heroines. Liv is a thief, she needs to be tough but she’s not unfeeling. That’s sort of her problem : ) Zia may be standing behind Liv, but she’s no shrinking violet. Far from it.
The blue tone, weapon and background let you know this is going to be a futuristic/science fiction story. The position of the characters tells you it’s a romance, but not erotic. It looks like Zia is about to kiss Liv’s shoulder. There’s a scene in the book where Zia comes up behind Liv and does that. I’m not sure if the artist read it, but it’s nicely implied here. And rather sensual, IMO : )
Rulebreaker comes out August 8. I’ll be posting a blog tour schedule in conjuction with the release. I hope you join me.
But until then, feel free to pop back and drool over the cover. I know I will : )

Wanna See Something Pretty?
Head on over to The Galaxy Express ; )
Or, if you’d rather wait until tomorrow, you can come back here.
ETA: Oops! Sorry, gang, I’ll post Thursday or Friday. I have to find something first : P
Over at Contact-Infinite Futures Today
I have a short post over at the Carina Press SF/SFR blog, Contact-Infinite Futures, about John Travolta having been considered for the part of Han Solo, and a little more on how movies fix a character in our head. Consider movie characters and the actors we associate with certain roles. Would anyone else fit the bill? Pop on over and leave a comment.
Update: Rulebreaker will be released in less than three months! I received the preliminary cover from the art team and Oh. My. God! It’s gorgeous. Liv and Zia are perfectly portrayed. Better than anything I could have wished for. And yes, I am a dork and look at it at least once a day. When the final-final cover is approved, I’ll post it, of course. For now, you’ll have to live with my teasing : )
Rulebreaker Release Date
August 8, 2011 will be a heck of a day here in the Hopefully-Not Frozen North. My F/F SFR Rulebreaker debuts at Carina Press. Here’s a blurb:
Liv Braxton, a small-time thief stuck on a backwater planet, takes on the gig of a lifetime filling in as executive assistant at Exeter Mining Company. Her job is to download incriminating files, but Liv finds herself unexpectedly torn when she falls for Zia Talbot, the beautiful and alluring VP she is supposed to betray.
It seems unreal that this story, that ANY story of mine, is going to be published. But there it is. Or will be.
I’m getting up the nerve to contact folks for a blog tour, which should be fun/chaotic. I’ve never done one before, nor hosted any other person on my blog, so we’ll see how it goes.
IRL, I want to have a release party, but other than displaying my cover (which I can’t wait to see because Carina puts out some awesome covers!) it’s not like I can sign anything. Still, any excuse for a party, right?
August 8 is also the start of Science Camp week. We will have at least two house guests, possibly three, to add to the mix. That’ll be fun, but we’ll have to keep things family-rated, as two of our guests are under 13.
So there you have it. August 8, 2011. Mark your calendars and stay tuned. I’ll post a cover and, hopefully, a blog tour schedule.
