Yay!!! The day has arrived, time to show off our debut covers to the world!!!

Truth be told, the covers have been up on Amazon for a few weeks now, but *shhhh* we're just going to pretend that this is the first time we've all seen them. And really, this way you get to see all three of the April "Killer Voices" cover debuts at the same time. Oooh, convenient!

These three covers below are all for April releases, but keep scrolling to the bottom of the post for more info on the other three Killer Voices debuts coming later this year too.

So, here we go!

Fatal Freeze by Michelle Karl

Doesn't it make you feel cold just looking at it?! Brrrr… have I mentioned I don't like cold weather??? Here's the synopsis, in case you haven't had a chance to read it yet:

CIA agent Shaun Carter is on the trail of an international crime ring, and the sudden appearance of a woman from his past could jeopardize his mission. Missing persons investigator Lexie Reilly's search for a missing teen has put her in the criminals' crosshairs. Joining forces to take down this ring is their only chance of survival. Shaun vows to keep the beautiful investigator out of harm's way and help her find the lost girl. But when their ferry becomes icebound, they are trapped at sea with killers who will stop at nothing to keep them from discovering their secrets.

Royal Rescue by Tammy Johnson

I love the locket on this one! Very intriguing. Here's the synopsis from Amazon:

Hidden away for more than fourteen years, Thea James was presumed dead by most—killed in the fire that burned the royal palace. But Ronin Parrish knows the truth…and so does the person who murdered Thea's father, the king. Ronin takes his new duty as Thea's bodyguard seriously. After all, she's the only one who can clear his father of the king's murder. It doesn't matter that the princess's beauty and strength draw him to her. To a commoner like him, she can never be more than a mission. Now he's in a race to restore the princess to her rightful place on the throne before the unknown killer prematurely ends her reign.

You can check out Tammy's website here and learn more about her writing.

Presumed Guilty by Dana R. Lynn

Oooh, eerie! Creepy forest, rushing river… *shudder* Here's the synopsis from Amazon:

After four years in prison for a crime she didn't commit, Melanie Swanson's finally free. Yet starting over brings a heavy load of challenges. Nearly everyone believes she's guilty—including police lieutenant Jace Tucker. Jace's certainty cracks only when Melanie is repeatedly attacked, and when the people around her are picked off one by one. Melanie's clearly innocent—and terrified. Someone wants her dead to keep her shattered memories from recalling the crime she witnessed rather than caused. She lost her friends, her fiancé and her freedom when she was found guilty—but proving her innocence could cost Melanie her life.

You can check out Dana's blog here and learn more about her upcoming story. 

And there you have it! The cover reveal for the first three Killer Voices debuts. I hope you've been intrigued... but wait, there's more! No covers yet, but here are the other three Killer Voices and their release dates:

• Into Thin Air by Mary Ellen Porter (coming May 2015)
• Covert Justice by Lynn Huggins Blackburn (coming June 2015)
• Cate Nolan's presently untitled debut is coming October 2015
  
  

Thanks for celebrating with us today!

Just a quick note to say that I’ve set up both Facebook and Twitter accounts for Michelle Karl! While this blog is a way for us to chat long-form, it’s more passive on your end… so to connect with me on a more immediate basis, follow me on Facebook or Twitter!

The links are all around on the website, but you can also just clicky here for Facebook or here for Twitter.

See you there!

You may already know that myself and several other new authors to the Love Inspired family were signed on during the Killer Voices author search. The Love Inspired editors chose teams from the entrants, and through several rounds of eliminations, six of us were left!

This April, three of us have our debuts… and tomorrow, you get to see our covers! Oooh, cover reveal, exciting! (Though, that said, if you’re on this website on tomorrow you’ll probably see my cover as soon as you navigate to the site…)

Come back tomorrow and check out the covers of the other two Killer Voices ladies joining me for their debut this April! And of course, I’ll showcase the covers of the other debut ladies a little later in the year, closer to their book releases. Enjoy, and thanks for visiting!

Starting something new can be intimidating… no less so when it’s the first post on a brand-new blog, on a brand-new website, for a brand-new author! But, here goes!

Welcome to my website! It’s just a little thing right now, as I’m new on the scene and only three months away from the release of my very first novel, but I’m hoping that you and I can build this space together.

Yes, you’re a part of this! Readers are an important part of the process, and I appreciate you taking the journey to Fatal Freeze with me.

As I write this today, the Weather Network says it feels like -22 outside. I’m not a fan of cold weather, but I needed to get some groceries, so I bundled up and headed out into the deep freeze anyway. But you know what? The sun was shining, the ice on my car had already softened, and what I thought would be a miserable journey turned into a pleasant afternoon errand.

Sometimes expectations turn out to be nothing like reality… so I’m heading out on this new author journey with as few expectations as possible. And then hoping for sunshine!
