Today’s the day! If you pre-ordered Holiday Heat: April, or pre-whatevered it on Kindle Unlimited, you woke up this morning to a brand new book on your device.

Much excite!

If you look at the series of covers from January to April, you can see how I’m moving us through the rainbow; we started at pink, went to red, then orange, and now orange-yellow-green. I’m not quite sure how my artist is going to make straight-up green or blue (or even dark purple) look right, but that’s why she does the art and I make the words; I trust her to come up with something spectacular, and she does, every time.

I did have a few other model choices from 123rf.com that I sent her; she chose this one because she said she was the sexiest, and that’s not untrue. But if you’re interested in the others, here they are:

I would say that the fourth model — the one with the white tank top and denim shorts — has the closest resemblance to Amelia in terms of attitude, but she looked a little too wholesome, so I understand why we didn’t go with her.

Anyway, now you know my thought process on the cover model. Go forth and read the book!
