Announcing the cover of Burn Me Deadly
Here's the cover of my next novel, Burn Me Deadly. The artwork was done by Jean-Sebastien Rossbach, who also did the paperback cover for The Sword-Edged Blonde.
I run a space opera magazine which is renowned for having great covers. This cover rocks. It features many of the things I look for; a sense of place, of time, of activity. It has actual people caught doing something I'd like to know more about in a frozen moment in time. Finally, it makes me want to buy the book. Three thumbs up!
I grew up in west Tennessee an hour north of Graceland (home of Elvis) and twenty minutes from Nutbush (birthplace of Tina Turner). I've been a reporter, editor, photographer and door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman. I now live in a Wisconsin town famous for trolls, write before six in the morning and try to teach my two sons to act like they've been to town before. I'm the author of the Eddie LaCrosse high fantasy/hardboiled mysteries (The Sword-Edged Blonde, Burn Me Deadly and the forthcoming Dark Jenny), two novels about vampires in 1975 Memphis (Blood Groove and The Girls with Games of Blood) and the first Tufa novel, The Hum and the Shiver, due in 2011.

Thanks to everyone for their comments, and I'm tickled that everyone likes it. I like it, too, so I'm glad that seems to be the consensus as well.
