I have TWO cover reveals today in two very different genres.
First up is Ellie Garrett’s Passing Time, Nine Short Tales of the Strange and Macabre
Book Blurb
Nine dark fiction stories that may just give you nightmares.
A man lives to regret Passing Time. A father will do anything to save his son in Expiration Date. An author finds out her worst nightmare is back in The Devil’s Song. A woman gets more than the claim fee when she takes out vampire insurance in Luna Black.
In Dining in Hell, the Death Valley Diner becomes the wrong place to stop.
A serial killer wants to add another file to his collection in The Vegas Screamer. In Eating Mr. Bone, an undertaker could meet an unfortunate end. A con man meets his first ghost in Land of the Free. And will truth finally be set free in The Letter?
Publication date: 11th February 2013

About The Author
A life-long addiction to reading science fiction and horror, meant writing was the logical outlet for Ellie Garratt’s passions. She is a reader, writer, blogger, Trekkie, and would happily die to be an extra in The Walking Dead. Her short stories have been published in anthologies and online. Passing Time is her first eBook collection and contains nine previously published stories. Her science fiction collection Taking Time will be published later in the year.

Please visit Ellie’s blog on Friday 11th January, when she will be interviewing Passing Time’s cover designer, Ida Jansson.
*********************************************
The second cover is Carol Kilgore’s Solomon’s Compass. I love Carol’s slogan for her writing – Crime Fiction with a Kiss.
Book Blurb
A missing belt—her uncle’s prized possession. The lure of buried treasure. And a sexy former SEAL who makes U.S. Coast Guard Commander Taylor Campbell crazy. What more could any woman want. Right?
Taylor is in Rock Harbor, Texas, on a quest to unearth her uncle’s treasure—a journey far outside the realm of her real life. There’s one glitch. Taylor’s certain the buried treasure was all in Uncle Randy’s dementia-riddled mind. Now he’s dead.
Former SEAL Jake Solomon is in Rock Harbor under false pretenses to protect Taylor from the fate that befell her uncle and the other members of a tight circle of Coast Guardsmen called the Compass Points who served together on Point boats in Vietnam.
Jake is definitely not supposed to become involved with Taylor. That was his first mistake. Taylor is attracted to Jake as well, but she refuses to wait for him to locate the killer when she knows her plan will force her uncle’s murderer into action.
But the killer’s actions are just what Jake is afraid of.

Solomon’s Compass is her second novel, a blend of mystery, suspense, and romance she calls Crime Fiction with a Kiss – always at least one crime; always a love story.

And Carol will be here tomorrow having tea with Mistress Snark, so be sure to come back and see if she survives the ordeal!
I forgot all about Ellie. I’ll have to add her cover image to my blog. Thanks!
We have an abundance of covers today, Stephen. Thanks for stopping by!
You are a truly evil woman. My unread pile of books is threatening to take over the house (and perhaps the neighbourhood). I have made a vow to buy no more books, and you have just put double temptation in my way.
I will assuredly be back tomorrow to see how Carol copes at afternoon tea. I will also visit Ellie’s blog on Friday.
My dear EC, you have discovered my evil ways. Bwahahaha! I’m piling more books in your home as we speak.
Hi Laura .. love Ellie’s cover reveal – interesting dark stories – not good with ‘horror’ … and Carol’s crime fiction sounds a good read ..
Lots here and I’ll be back to see Carol take tea with you … cheers Hilary
Hi Hilary! Some horror I can read, some I can’t. Both Ellie’s and Carol’s books sound like must haves.
Both books sound like great reads, and the covers are fantastic.
Yes, the covers are both beautiful, Julie!
Thanks, Laura. I love Ellie’s cover, too. Today I’m going to finish putting my affairs in order so I’ll be prepared for whatever happens tomorrow.
Oh, Carol…*rubs hands together* At least you got to reveal your cover before…well, you know.
I know – two cool covers in one day!!!
It’s great, Alex!
Thank you again for hosting me, Laura. I love that I’m sharing space with a writer who is new to me. Congratulations, Carol! I’m doing the happy dance.
I loved that you two write in such different genres, Ellie. There’s something here for everyone!
Both covers are really well done.
Aren’t they, Diane? I can’t wait to read them!
Terrific coves both – and both books sound like good ones too.
I’m with EC on the topic of the unread pile!
OK – gotta go and get gone!
Look at it this way, Kevin. At least many of your books didn’t have to be packed…
Ah but…you *know* we have a huge number of book books too.
I know, but every digital book helps!
These books are everywhere today. Great promo!
I agree, Lee. Ellie and Carol have taken over the blog world today! And regarding the faerie dust you asked for, there’s a big pile of it over on the sidebar. Help yourself but beware of Jezebel. She’s guarding it.
I totally dig both of these covers. Congrats Ellie and Carol!
I love them too, Laura!
I’ excited for both! I saw the cover reveal at Lyn’ s and love dark tales like Ellie’s.
I can’t wait to read them, ML.
Woot for Carol and Ellie! They’re both great covers, and they’ve teased me with tempting blurbs.
They’re quite tempting, Mary.
Both great covers!! I’m excited for them both.
And they’re everywhere today, Ciara!
Congrats to Ellie and Carol!!
Thanks, Lynda.
I love both. They are wicked awesome!
Agreed, Tammy!
