The amazing Jessica Heatherlysaid of my award-winning, romantic thriller Fall to Pieces

“Definitely don’t judge this book by its cover! On first look,I assumed this book would be a romance novel disguised as a mystery but boy wasI wrong!”

It’s a great 5-star review; I’mnot knocking it. And I understand the bodice rippers of the 80’s contributeto society’s knee-jerk reaction to romance novels. People see a couple on thecover and assume the worst. I don’t like it, but I get it. That said…

I love my covers.

Wait. You don’t know what a bodice ripper is?

Back in the 80's, the reigningqueens of romance had the most atrocious covers. I've heard them called nursingmother covers but I prefer to describe them as BODICE RIPPERS. 

Oh, Lordy, those covers. Theydefined an era, sure, but I'm glad as an author, they're before my time. Iwouldn't trade my pretty covers for anything. Not even the gritty covers fansof suspenseful thrillers are fonder. 

If you enjoyed this book...

...I bet you'd enjoy this one:

Don't let the cover fool you. 😉

Have a glorious "bodice ripper" cover to share?
