I normally blog on Mondays, but I just got my cover for my June Intrigue, PROTECTIVE INSTINCTS, and I wanted to share. PROTECTIVE INSTINCTS is the first book in my Precinct: Brotherhood of the Badge mini-series, and features Sawyer Kincaid and Melissa Teague. Some of you sharpies may remember them as supporting players in my Intrigue, UP AGAINST THE WALL.
Wow! I think the cover is just wonderful. 
I've been so fortunate with my last three covers--they're not just good and appropriate, but they're fabulous! Eye-catching AND they convey the mood or characters of the story. Spot on!
So I want to send a big thanks to the art department!
Monday, I'll be back to blog about a new Intrigue continuity series coming up in 2009 to celebrate Intrigue's 25th birthday! Here are a few clues: crime lab, FBI, Native Americans, murder mystery, twins, reunions, secret babies, survival--and some of your favorite Intrigue authors! (mine, too!) 
Enjoy!

Nice cover! Even before I
Nice cover! Even before I ever read a Harlequin romance, I confess, I loved looking at the covers and yours is particularly nice.

I have my suspicions about your relationship with someone
in the cover art dept LOL (I've said the same to Cathy Mann
) - I don't think either of you has ever had a "bad" cover
Something tells me you both have fans in that dept
I've got the English version of Beast in the Tower arriving next week
- another nice cover

Hi Julie
That is a great cover and I love the title. I can't wait to read it. The new author series sounds really good. It has a lot of the elements I enjoy reading about.
Margie :)
Cover art fairies indeed!!
Verrrry nice. And just so you know Julie, I don't think June is going to be here soon enough. Not that I want to wish time away, but really... that means that I have to wait?!
And Sawyer... yum! I don't remember Melissa very much ~ going to have to do some checking ~ but Sawyer, yep him I remember.

Yes, Sawyer was the undercover cop working as a bartender in UP AGAINST THE WALL. Melissa was the petite cocktail waitress with the abusive ex-hubby who didn't accept that he was an ex, and tried to kill her. Bec (Rebecca), the heroine in WALL became her friend and nearly got killed herself trying to help her (which, of course, put hero Seth in a particularly bad mood, and nearly blew his cover trying to rescue them both).
Okay, here's another teaser (I have to finish a proposal this week before I can spend too much time playing on the boards
)
The continuity series will be called the Kenner County Crime Unit. And it starts in January 2009 and runs through August, with Debra Webb writing an online serial to help launch it, and Delores Fossen writing an online serial later in the series. So that'll be 10 stories! 10!
I'll see if I can get some of the other authors to stop by the blog next week, too, and share some of their inside info
Take care,
Julie
