8 great authors – 8 amazing books

Participating in this exciting Hop organized by Fabulosity Reads and the super energetic Wendy Ewurum, required choosing one of the eight covers of the Hop Catalog and describe why this stood out: I chose to present Donna Fasano’s Merry-Go-Round.

…an utterly charming romantic comedy…told with humor and honesty…” ~Karen McQuestion, Author of A Scattered Life, Easily Amused, and The Long Way Home

Being six months away from publishing my first contemporary romance (I decided to write an accompanying novellette. When? That’s a different story), I’m in search of the perfect concept for the covers of my Aegean Lovers series. I don’t know much, but I do know that branding is as important as professional quality when choosing a cover for your book. In the case of romance, I’ve noticed that the type of cover often denotes the degree of sensuality: the headless naked torso is a sure sign that the romance contains explicit sex scenes; the portrait of a girl or a cuddly couple outdoors usually covers a “sweet” romantic story, and cute illustrations in pastels tend to point to a chick-lit novel.

In terms of branding, the cover of Donna Fasano’s Merry-Go-Round just couldn’t go wrong. A beautiful girl who’s obviously a successful professional, has a quiet relaxing moment at the office, her thoughts taking her to a happy place which may well be a merry-go-round…or stepping off it: beautiful, comforting, the romance reader instantly feels she (or he…why not?) will have fun reading the book. Isn’t that a key to success?

Book Blurb

When Lauren divorces her husband, she has one thought on her mind…stepping off the merry-go-round. However, her life quickly turns into a three-ring circus: her hypochondriac father moves in, her ex is using her shower when she’s not home, and her perky assistant is pushing her out into the fearsome dating world. She also has to decide if the vintage merry-go-round she’s awarded in the divorce settlement is a blessing or a bane. As if Lauren’s personal life isn’t chaotic enough, this slightly jaded attorney is overrun with a cast of quirky characters who can’t stay on the right side of the law. What’s a woman to do? She can allow life to spin her in circles forever. Or she can reach out and grab the brass ring.
