Progress report... from Jaye Marie

Current work in progress
Just wanted to share the new cover for the sequel to The Ninth Life.

I have reached 12,000 words, and it is rolling along nicely. As usual, the characters are completely in charge, and I do as I'm instructed.
At this stage, I have no idea how it will go, or what will happen. All I know is this, surprising things are happening already...

I love this new cover, but would appreciate some feedback from all my lovely helpful friends out there.  For instance, are sequel covers supposed to be similar to the first book?
Go on, tell me what you really think...










I thought I would share this too, the first review for The Ninth Life.




Most Helpful Customer Reviews4.0 out of 5 stars An addictive and rollercoaster of a read 4 Mar. 2015 By Louise Wyatt
If you like the thriller genre that keeps up the momentum then The Ninth Life would be a good read for you. The pace never falters, building up the plot and characters with timely intervention. The author cleverly keeps the story centred around the main character, with the other players coming into the story and yet there are no plot holes or false timings.
Not once did I get bored reading it or find the story faltering at all - definitely one of those where 'you need to know what happens next' but I think the author's gift when writing this is to keep the protagonist centre whilst keeping the reader constantly hooked. The antagonist is typically a nasty character, one whom the reader takes an instant dislike to and the edge he adds to the story is almost palpable.
Other characters are kept to a minimum but play pivotal roles in the story; the good thing here is you never know quite how they will turn out. Will your fears be unfounded? Or did you correctly guess the next step? The ending is not what you would expect (another good talent to have when writing) but you'll have to read the book!
