Biting the Curse Cover!!

I’ve shared this with my newsletter subscribers and added it to Goodreads, so I thought it would be nice to share the cover to Biting the Curse with you, too! So…here’s the cover for you to enjoy. Ain’t it pretty???


I think Maria Zannini (bookcoverdiva.blogspot.com) did a great job. Here’s the blurb (or description or cover copy or whatever you call it):

When Janie Robinson says “I do,” she might as well call the morgue.
Two days after her wedding, David died in a car accident.
The day after she accepted his proposal, Justin fell to his death at work.
The day after she agreed to move in, Aaron died in a freakish drone accident.
Now Sam wants to date her because she’s some kind of Perfect Mate.
If she’s perfectly anything, she’s perfectly cursed and she’s not about to risk Sam’s life.

Sam Kincaid is a vampire.
He has been searching for Janie since the day he let her go.
Her so-called curse doesn’t bother him until he becomes the killer’s next target.
He’s never feared for his life before, but if he lets her go again, it wouldn’t be worth living.

And if you’re so inclined, you can add the book to your WANT TO READ stack over at Goodreads. Here’s the link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/45161701-biting-the-curse

I’m still debating (with myself, of course) on whether or not I should put this up for pre-order. My estimated release date is July 18 (my birthday!!) and I’m really hoping I have the paperback ready for the Literary Love: Authors Rock Savannah convention. Nothing like putting that kind of pressure on myself to finish this thing, huh? But preorders? I don’t know. I’ve never done them before. What do you think?

So… Are you watching the Stanley Cup Playoffs? My Penguins (and Golden Knights) may be out of it, but the Columbus Blue Jackets are still going strong. And yes, I am rooting for them. I just don’t like them when they play the Penguins! Can’t believe they went into overtime against Boston in both games, though. In fact, I’m amazed at how many overtimes there have been in the playoffs this year. Just goes to show that all the teams are so evenly matched, huh? I just didn’t think I’d get stressed out over the Blue Jackets playing. Yikes! I’ll just blame it on playoff hockey.

Happy Monday.

The Capitals are out of it which makes me happy.
My books are always up for pre-order, as are the IWSG anthologies. I think they are a good idea.

Alex - Yes, very happy that the Caps are out of it. And I guess I'll think harder about that preorder thing. :D

Anne Francis Scott said...

Good cover, and the blurb lured me in. You had me at "Sam Kincaid is a vampire." lol Added to my shelf on Goodreads.

Go Blue Jackets!

Preorders are nice so that when someone sees mention of your book before it's out, and knows they want it, less chance they'll forget it later. And they're easy to do, especially if the book's already written and there's next to no chance you'll miss your deadline to upload the final.

Stacy McKitrick said...

Anne - Thanks so much!!!

Jennette - Yeah, I won't put it up on presale unless I'm CERTAIN I'll make the date. Which means having it ready well before then. So if it's ready in June, I may try that presale thing.

Maria Zannini said...

Pre-order couldn't hurt as long as you can make the release date. It's a nice incentive for newsletter subscribers too.

Stacy McKitrick said...

Maria - It's making the release date that scares me. I won't do it unless the book is done (or almost done) by June 15th. I only want to upload the book once.

It's a great cover (Maria does it again). I'll root for the Blue Jackets with you. Even if I do usually root for all things Boston.

Linda - I'm shocked you're not rooting for Boston. Shocked, I tell you!! :D
