Annnndddd…Lucky 13!

My proposal for a novella in the Ellora’s Cave 2007 Tarot series has been accepted! The title hasn’t been confirmed and is subject to change. It may be too similar to another title or they may want it to reference the card, etc. BUT it’s in! And this is officially lucky 13, my baker’s dozen of sales to date. And I’m seven months ahead of schedule with a couple of other things still out there.

I’m very excited about being part of the Tarot series. The art department is making a card deck which I know will be gorgeous.

Here’s the blurb for my Tarot novella:

Workaholic Elaine Llewellyn’s enforced vacation leaves her at far too loose an end for her peace of mind. With all that time on her hands, memories and longings she’s been repressing threaten to break free. Her solution? Distract herself by playing tourist on a just-busy-enough road trip through Maine.

A storm and a blocked road send her to an unscheduled stop at Damon Thorne’s private retreat. Instead of the B&B she’s expecting, the man who’s world famous for his surreal paintings of psychic visions has been expecting her and all of her careful plans are washed away with the rain.

Trapped in the house while the storm rages outside, Damon sets out to break through Elaine’s barriers, physical, mental and emotional. When the storm ends, she’ll have to make a choice: go back to the life of denial she’s been living, or come to terms with her own psychic gifts, her passionate nature, and the second chance at love she’s been offered.

WOOOT!

    And it is exciting to be a part of this series, isn’t it? I’m DYING for my cover. (It’s the Emperor card, so I’m hoping for pecs. *g*)

    The Star is usually depicted as a woman, so I may get one of those lovely back shots or something. Can’t wait to see how it’ll be interpreted!

    Writing ‘em, no problem. It’s 1/3 done with the synopsis so all the plot/character arc details are worked out. Straight shot to the end! cool
