Link for the day: My new cover! Sorry for this BSP, but I was so busy writing (imagine that!) I didn't have time to find a fun link so I figured I'd show off my April release that just went up on Amazon.

Although I love each and every one of the heroes from my books, I'm not love festing over them today. I am, however, loving the NBC show Heroes. Great new episode. Best show on television hands down.

Isaac the painter is so hot now that he's no longer a heroin junkie. That whole drug thing was a real ick factor for me so I'm happy he's clean, healthy and gorgeous. Definitely hero material sans the glowing eyes when he paints the future, of course. Unless one is writing paranormal romance.

The invisible man was so cool, too. I didn't see him coming. Gotta love Peter. He is the heart of the show along with Hiro.

Loved Claire trying to get her best friend Zack back, too. So sweet.

My biggest question is about Linderman. Who is this guy? And why do all roads seem to lead back to him in Las Vegas? Guess we'll find out, but probably not soon enough for me. Still I'm avoiding all spoilers for this show. I do watch the previews but that's it.

What about you? Do you like spoilers for your favorite shows or do you wait to find out what happens?

I'm meeting my NaNoWriMo bud and writing at a coffee shop in Portland this morning. Hope you're having fun wherever you are!

I love the cover! It's fabulous. :)

Hate spoilers.

Love "Heroes". I adore Hiro (he's so happy all the freakin' time, how could I not?), and Claire broke my heart last night. Poor Peter, he has the weight of the world (or at least New York) on his shoulders.

It was a great episode.

Brandy said...

The cover is just so "Aaawwwwww". Very nice. Glad to hear you are
almost done.
Um, I don't watch Heroe's. As for Spoilers, well, sometimes they are a good thing for someone who doens't like to see bad things happen (like me!).

Melissa said...

Thanks Michelle! It's my first baby cover. It'll be interesting to see how it does. Of course it's also my first baby title, too!

Oh, a fellow Heroes lover! Welcome Marianne and thanks for commenting. So true about the weight of the world on Peter's shoulders. If not for the book being due next week, I'd wish it were next Monday already!

aaaawww, I love the cover.

I like teaser spoilers, that'll make me watch the show.

Melissa said...

Thanks Brandy. Love your explanation about spoilers. That's so cute!

Thank you, too, Dru. Teaser spoilers are okay. I live for previews:)

You guys are making me feel better about the baby cover. It's not one I put down on the AFS so I was surprised to see it. It's perfect for the book and the title though. Just a bit nervous about it since covers really affect sales.

I'm not much into spoilers. I'm not very good about NOT spoiling, though. Bad Tori! I like to be surprised as I watch, however.

I just love Hiro so much. He was so funny battling that T-Rex at the museum then to discover it was a fake sword!

Melissa said...

Wasn't he great with the T-Rex, Tori! I totally love how he is now as Hiro and how he was as the hero-stud-Hiro-from-the-future. I can't wait to watch the transformation.

Lissa said...

Love, love, love Heroes. I think Nathan is going to be Clarie's real Dad. Who do any of you think he'll be?

Can't wait for the new book. My favorite books are babies and Christmas books. They even get a few tears sometimes. :-D
