Be Careful What You Wish For by Gladys Quintal

Today’s Cover Story is a case of the model for the character seeming to be not right for the image of the character but then turning out to be perfect after all. In addition it’s... a case of family turning out to be just what you need. I’ll let Gladys tell you the story of her cover:

‘The book is Be Careful What You Wish For and the character I chose for the cover is Chloe. Chloe is based on my daughter Emma. I introduced her in my first book (The Man of my Dreams) as the young vampire that "accidentally" turns Alexi. Chloe was turned at 17 (We don't find out much about her until the 2nd book though) and was literally starving when she stumbled across Alexi and unintentionally drains his blood, panics and feeds him her own to try and correct her mistake.

I used the fact that Emma does a bit of modelling and has a lot of health issues that mar her everyday life and that we have not had a diagnosis to start any kind of treatment as yet. It has been years and still we do not know why she gets so sick all the time.

Emma, however, is a blue eyed, petite, blond and that didn't really fit in with my plans for Chloe. I wanted her to be dark and brooding, so the similarites stopped there. But when Emma did this photo shoot as Miss Haversham in the Twisted Weddings shoot, I fell in love with the Goth look immediately and said "that is my Chloe!"

I approached the photographer (Gina Smyth https://www.facebook.com/GinaSmythPho... ) and she was more than happy to let me use the photo for my book cover.”
