Honeytrap cover

[osprey_archer]

Friends! Romans! Countrymen! We have a cover!



PUBLICATION TIME IS LOOMING CLOSE.

I've also got what I believe is a final version of the blurb:

At the height of the Cold War, a Soviet and an American agent fall in love.

Soviet agent Gennady Matskevich is thrilled when he's assigned to work with American FBI agent Daniel Hawthorne. There’s just one catch: Gennady’s abusive boss wants him to honeytrap his American partner. Gennady doesn't want to seduce his new American friend for blackmail purposes… but nonetheless, he can’t stop thinking about kissing Daniel.

FBI agent Daniel Hawthorne is delighted to get to know an agent from the mysterious Soviet Union… and determined not to repeat his past mistake of becoming romantically involved with a coworker. But soon, Daniel finds himself falling for Gennady. Can their love survive their countries’ enmity?

GORGEOUS cover and EXCELLENT cover copy!

[osprey_archer]

I've been reading back covers (do you know it's been ages since I've really read back covers? I've got so many books on my to-read list that I rarely need to browse anymore) so I hope that's helped step up my cover copy game.

Oooh, so mod looking.

I am ridiculously excited for the book!

[osprey_archer]

My hope is that people will look at this cover and go "That looks extremely sixties spy story."

[minutia_r]

It really does!

I need to get the proof copy in to see how the colors look when they're printed, but if all goes well, it should be coming out in early September.

Nice! I love the retro look.

[osprey_archer]

I think it suits the book! Hopefully it will draw readers like honey draws flies.

In other news, I've bogged down in the m/m magical pets story I was working on, so I'm poking at some new ideas & may send you something in the next few days. Currently resisting the urge to center the story around this bat-winged rabbit (a.k.a. rabbat).

[rachelmanija]

Please please please write a rabbat story.

[osprey_archer]

Mark eyed the rabbit's leathery bat wings. "You," he told the rabbit, "are above my pay grade."

The rabbit sneezed.

"I think," said Mark, and his heart began to beat faster, "I'm going to have to take you to Gabriel."

(Will Mark arrive just in time to help Gabriel sew up his gashed arm after Gabriel's orphaned baby griffin got just a little too playful? MAYBE.)

[rachelmanija]

Would read.

Drive-by comment to say: OMG, that is a GORGEOUS cover! Retro, but also, yanno, not so retro that you think it was actually written in the '60s. *chef kiss*

(Also, since I had a recent bout of fic writing/posting, it's seen me signing in and checking out my reading page more often than I usually do. Don't have anything specific to really say, but just wanted to let you know that I've had a good time catching up with your posts!)

[osprey_archer]

I'm hoping it will draw in loads of readers! We shall see...

And it's always nice to see you around!
