AOFM, also known as DH - my dear hubby, has worked his magic on one of my contemporaries that hasn't gotten enough attention. It's a good book that needs more readers. To attract readers, I first tried a name change. The books was originally entitled "E-mail Enticement". In retrospect, I think that one did sound a little like a legal textbook. (Though not as much as the first title I wanted to give it, which was "Criminal Sexual Communication".) Poor little E-mail didn't get much love.
Not so terribly long ago, I retitled it, thinking it would "entice" more interest. The second title was: "The Billionaire's E-mail Seduction." Under that title, it garnered a little more love, but not much. It cried out for more tweaking - something more drastic than just a new title. E-mail demanded a new COVER. That meant that I needed to do a little enticing of my own - or a lot, as the case may be. AOFM doesn't work cheap, you know - but then he's worth the best of everything.
Yesterday, my DH did a yummy new cover for "E-mail" and I can't wait for y'all to see it. Did I mention that it's yummy? Yep, that's right - I'm pushing books with the bare-chested hunks again. After all, the goal of a cover is to get a reader to stop long enough to read the description and check out the sample and then - hopefully - to press the buy button. But they won't buy if they don't stop long enough to look and I do believe my DH's new cover will get anyone who boogles by to stop, ogle, and check out the book.
The new title for E-mail - in keeping with our newly adopted theme - is "Dangerous Relations: Seducing The Billionaire." The theme or subtitle of "Dangerous Relations" will tie together all our contemporaries right where they take place - at the intersection of love and the law.
Amazon got the new page and title for the book up by this morning, but I'm still waiting for the cover. It's a lot like waiting for a baby to arrive - I know it'll be beautiful and I am way anxious to share. Don't forget to check it out because it's awesomely quackalicious - with a cherry on top!
