So, I'm a day late with the blog, but I can easily blame that on a turkey coma. Here in Canada, it's Thanksgiving weekend. We're lucky we don't have to wait until November for a great big dinner with all the trimmings.

But, I digress, you're here for book chat, not food talk, which I could discuss all day if asked to. Food is both my kryptonite and my superpower, which honestly sounds like a great book...

Today, October 12th, is the one year anniversary of my cover reveal for "Ready to Burn."



When I first saw my cover, I was thrilled. It really was everything I had ever dreamed of. I knew I wanted a shirtless man. And I was given a shirtless man. I mean, this is romance. My target audience is women who enjoy shirtless men. I really couldn't ask for more.

Except a face. That's my new vision: to have a book cover with a face for my shirtless torso hero.

A girl can dream.

Who is this man on the cover of my first novel? If I walked by him on the street, I wouldn't know it was him, because in all likelihood, he would be dressed.

So, whoever you are, shirtless man, thank you for gracing the cover of my novel. I truly appreciate you and all the hours you spent in the gym. *wink*

Until next week....

I'm Mandy Michelle, Food Connoisseur, Torso Lover, and Dreamer Extraordinaire.
