Why I'm a SUCKER for Joselyn Vaughn

WELCOME Joselyn Vaughn to my blog. She's here to share her beautiful cover and book cover for her March 29, 2011,  Astraea Press release Sucker for a Hot Rod. I'm so glad you stopped by.

What was your first impression of your book cover when you saw it?

I loved it.  I really liked the small town charm of the garage and that they got the car right.

I agree about the smalltown charm. I'm also amazed at how much the girl looks like YOU! (See picture below). Pull your hair back and the resemblance is amazing. WOW! Can you tell us about your cover artist? Her web page link?

Her name is Elaina Lee and she does all the cover art for Astraea Press. Check out the rest of the covers. They are amazing. Her website is www.forthemusedesign.com.

I certainly second that. Elaina is a genious. But your artwork's not too shabby either. The book trailer you made is great.

How did you come up with the idea for your book trailer?

I wanted to do one and was searching for images to use and came across the guy that was used in the cover, so then I started looking for the woman. I looked through pictures for a while and then had an epiphany.  (We get excited about really small things around here. LOL)  I could use the cover of the book and focus of different parts of it throughout the trailer. 

What special feature does it point to that tells the reader to snatch this up right away to read?

It highlights the focus on cars throughout the book.  The Datsun 240Z and the figure-eight race, especially.

What does your book trailer say about your book? 

I hope it says that these are interesting characters that you can’t wait to meet.

I definitely think it says that! Awesome job and congrats on the new release. Here's the book blurb to further wet everyone's appetite!

Bryce Halloway only dates a woman once. No exceptions.

It gives him the reputation of a heart-breaker, but he can handle that as long as it keeps his mother, Dinah, from trying to marry him off. Judi Montgomery and her tempting ponytail finagle their way around official dates with car problems and driving lessons. She worms her way into his heart and entices him to want more from his life.

When health issues causes his father to retire, Bryce inherits the family-owned tractor repair shop. Can Judi’s love and encouragement give him the courage to break tradition and pursue his dreams of owning a custom hot rod shop?

The book looks great, sounds great, and Joselyn Vaughn is great! I can't wait to read it. I'm so glad you stopped by and I hope you'll visit again soon.

Since Joselyn was kind enough to stop and visit me, I'm going to let her pick one lucky poster to receive a PDF copy of my new release Wayward Soul.
