A cover and a blurb

Happy belated New Year!

I’m back after a hiatus for the holidays. All four of my children came home to Arizona for Christmas, even the ones in Toronto and Amsterdam. Great times! But now back to everyday life . . . sigh. (Nothing personal about that sigh!)

Today’s hook isn’t a snippet, but rather a cover reveal and a blurb reveal for Constellation XXI, my upcoming Valentine’s Day science fiction romance release.

First the blurb:

Rediscovering love at the worst possible time

Although Sienna Dukelsky had been the most promising student pilot at Keening AstroSpace Academy, she inexplicably settles for a routine, unglamorous job guiding incoming spaceships to safe berths at Farflung Space Station. Rumors, never verified, blamed her surprising decision on a boyfriend who got expelled from Keening.

Crispin Hunt, fleeing enemy forces, is greeted by a tugship captained by Sienna, his former girlfriend. Love rekindles — until an old betrayal boils to the surface. Her ship loses power while aimed straight at the space station, forcing Sienna to confront the terrifying truth about Crispin and his cargo . . . and her routine job suddenly becomes one of the most important in the galaxy.

Edward Hoornaert’s romantic space opera, Constellation XXI, continues the saga of the Dukelsky family begun in The Guardian Angel of Farflung Station and Escapee.

Then the cover (with many thanks to Sweet ’N Spicy Designs):

I have an aversion to naked male torsos on book cover, so this nude shoulder is the closest my fans are going to get. If you have any comments or suggestions please let me know — there’s still time to tweak, you know.
