They picked #3. That tells you that I have so found the right people.

This is more or less the finished cover. All-in-all, I’m really happy with this.  At a later date, I’ll start working on a post that will show you the evolution of this cover, but for now, I’m going to just smile and say “oohh, shiny.”

About Honor At Stake.

As a freshman in college, Amanda Colt knows few people, and wants to know fewer still. She enjoys fencing, and prefers to face a challenge every once in a while. She is beautiful, and smart, and possibly the most interesting person on campus … and most people stop after the first adjective.

Then she finds Marco Catalano in her fencing class. He is tall, not unattractive, and he is very, very intense. With a mind like a computer and manners of a medieval knight, he scares most people. Except Amanda.

She lives in a nice apartment in the mid-70s, on Manhattan’s Upper East side, and has an impressive array of weapons collected by her family over the past century.

He lives in a brownstone in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and runs two street gangs.

They never see each other in daylight.

They don’t want to date each other

And they both have secrets, for they are both monsters.

As the two of them draw closer, they each have to find the line between how much they can trust each other, and how much they can care for each other. For each one carries a secret that can destroy the other. One is a dark, monstrous fiend who enjoys killing, and the other’s a vampire.

But they must come to grips with their personal drama soon, because a darkness is rising. Bodies are turning up all over New York, and an army of vampires is closing in on all sides. They have only one hope.

Each other.

Yes, yes, I’m told the opening may be too wordy, and I might be talking about too many little details along the way. But right now? I’ll take it

Obviously, the Amazon copy is a little different.
