Immortal Valentine

My husband gave me a fantastic holographic Captain Jack Sparrow Valentine's card this morning. So cool! Now I love my husband, and I love Johnny Depp (in different ways, obviously), but I couldn't help but notice the price of the card (wives are like that). $4.99 - the same price as my first Druids of Avalon book, The Grail King! For a card! With only two pages! TGK had 324 pages. Anyone want to do the math???

My other books, and most other romance novels, are just one or two dollars more than that Valentine's card. Most mass market paperbacks don't even cost as much as two greeting cards.

Which only goes to show what a great deal paperbacks are! Everyone, rush out and buy a great book at a great price today! You'll get hours of entertainment, and make some author somewhere very, very happy.

And now my Immortal Valentine to you - the initial mockup of the cover art for the next round of Immortals books, pre-lettering. Four connected covers similar to last year's books, but in a new color scheme. (And I'm offering an exclusive sneak peak excerpt, keep reading for details).

My October 08 book, Immortals: The Crossing, is in the upper right, with the Immortal Sidhe demigod Mac on the cover. Mac is so hot! The artist got him just right.

Jennifer Ashley's September 08 lead off book, Immortals: The Redeeming, is in the upper left. Jennifer's hero is Tain, the fallen Immortal brother who caused such trouble in the first round of Immortals books. He's a good guy now :-)

Robin T. Popp's November 08 book, Immortals: The Haunting, is in the lower left, and the February 09 Anthology, Immortals: The Reckoning, featuring novellas from all three of us, is in the lower right.

Can't wait for more Immortals adventure? Email me at joy@joynash.com and I'll send you a free sneak peek excerpt of Mac's book!

Happy Valentine's Day!
