Alternate Cover for The Fool

Since I shared it on my twitter, I figured why not share it here too? Back when I was trying to figure out my cover art for The Fool, I thought I might attempt to make it myself. You know. Save some money. Practice my limited skills.

Initially I was working with an image of a woman in a sheer mask, who eventually became my model for Delia’s mask. However, as my man so lovingly put it:

It looks like you just took a stock image and added text on it.

Which I did. But I didn’t want it to look like that was all I did…

Tips and Tricks for Your Super Duper Laparoscopy

So this post is about a year old, maybe more, but seeing as my old blog is officially dead and buried, I thought it warranted sharing again. The point of it is to help others going in for surgery based on my experience.

December 2014 marks the month I went in for a laparoscopic cystectomy. It was a out-patient procedure (aka no overnight stay) to remove cysts from my ovaries (one had actually disappeared on its own, finally, by the time the surgeon got in there, but he was still thorough).

At the time, I was told it was a fairly basic procedure (and it is, in a way), and some medical websites/articles said I’d be back on my feet in a few days.

LIES. FALSE. Please don’t believe any of that. Everyone recovers at their own pace. I took two weeks off from work and I wish I’d taken three. The first week my Man still needed to help me on and off the toilet because I couldn’t lift myself. So. Keep that in mind.

So, here’s the post I wrote a month after my surgery. Hope it’s helpful for anyone facing a similar situation in the near future!

3 STARS

When I first started reading Captured, I genuinely enjoyed it. I was able to ignore the editing issues and just lose myself in the story. It had this nostalgic feel for me, like something I’d read before and was super comfortable with. I liked it. Definitely.

And then the romance kicked in…

The Fool

The Fool

One night can change everything.

That’s what they always say, and for now, vampire hunter Delia hopes it’s true. After years of mediocre performances, she’s still nothing more than a grunt in her hunter league, stuck on surveillance duty and low-level vamp busts.

So, when her informant drops an amazing lead in her lap, she jumps at the opportunity to take down the region’s rumored vampire leader at an invite-only masquerade ball. Clad in a mask and an uncomfortable dress, Delia throws herself into the fray—only to realize she’s woefully unprepared for the night that awaits her.

Also… Some ridiculously attractive guy dressed as the Fool keeps distracting her.

One night. One job. One man. One chance to change her life.

All she has to do is not screw it up.

The Fool is a novella intended for readers aged 18+, and is the prologue for the paranormal romance serial Games We Play.
