Does Sex Sell?

We see all the glossy magazines with photos of beautiful models both women and men.  They advertise clothes, shoes, perfumes, hair products, makeup and numerous other items.  There are even more advertisements on television with gorgeous women and hunky men. 

What woman hasn't drooled over the beautiful swishing hair of actress/model Andie McDowell? Everyone would love to look like the models who wear Cover Girl makeup. Sometimes, dancers are used to model clothes and shoes, especially kids' shoes. 

You're probably wondering what is bringing about all these thoughts, so I'm going to get to the point now.  My publisher decided a while back to make new covers for my books; you know update their look.  The first thing I noticed was there is a sexy looking couple on each cover. 

The romantic couples look great on my new book covers, but I am going to be eager to learn if these covers sell more books.  What do you think, does sex sell?

Have a great week, and I'll see you next weekend.

Happy Mother's Day!

Today is a special day when we celebrate our mother's.   These wonderful women come in all shapes and sizes, and if we are lucky we have a fantastic person in our lives to look after and care for us.

My sister, brother and I were lucky to have a mother who really loved us.  She was always there to listen to us and support us.  Mom was special because she always encouraged us to spread our wings and try anything we wanted to do. 

Not everyone has a terrific mother, but maybe that mother is doing the best they can, and for that they should be given kudos for doing what they can. 

My mother passed away in April 4, 1998, and I still miss her.  For all you mother's, I'm offering a digital copy of my book, The Catalyst.  All you have to do is leave a comment telling me how many children you have. 

Blurb:

Dark revelations and secret love lead to personal resurrection.

Carolyn Madison didn't kill her husband but didn't mourn him either. The rapist deserved to die, or at least she thought so. Beneath a myriad of family secrets, Carolyn drags the skeletons out of the closet and in the arms of her true love, learns to love again.

Walt Tollhouse has pined for Carolyn since she was a shy seventeen-year-old. Little did he know Robert Dubois would steal her away, and then destroy the beautiful spirit he still loved. Beneath the guise of clean-up man, the martial arts instructor never pushes his battered love but gives her silent support she deserves. 

Happy Mother's Day to all those special ladies out there.
