Today I'm very excited to help with the cover reveal of what promises to be a most awesome book:
Running on Empty by Colette Ballard
This book will be published by Tulip Romance (an imprint of Spencer Hill Press)
Here's the blurb!
What does it feel like when you die—in those final moments? Do you feel the physical pain, or just the pain of your regrets? What does it feel like when you realize you can’t answer these questions because you’re not the victim?
You’re the killer.
River Daniels lives an ordinary life as a high school junior growing up in the confines of rural Texas until her boyfriend’s brutal attack leaves her both a murderer and a fugitive. When River’s closest girlfriends come to her aid, they make a hasty decision to not only help her, but leave their own troubled lives behind and join in her escape. The girls manage to elude police for months, but with every near-miss, River’s life spirals further out of control, until she finally hits rock bottom. Realizing she must stop endangering her friends and find evidence proving she acted in self-defense, the girls decide to make a risky return to Texas. Her return means more than facing her ugly past, she must also face the one person she was protecting the night her world caved in, the guy she has loved for as long as she can remember.

Title: Running on Empty
Author: Colette Ballard
Publisher: Tulip Romance
Expected Publication Date: November 25, 2013
Colette grew up on a dairy farm in rural Kentucky. She survived the high school experience back in the day when Aqua Net was bought in bulk and mullets were cool. That’s also when she realized that her constant daydreaming wasn’t a curse, but a useful skill—one she used like a lethal weapon to combat her frustration over the haunting question: What does the alphabet have to do with math anyway? Unfortunately, her ninja daydreaming skills only increased her desire to write—not her algebra grade. After surviving the hairstyles and torturous math classes of her high school years, she wandered a bit—even moving to the farthest northwestern corner of the United States, then to the farthest southeastern corner. She finally settled in the one red-light town she started in, where she continues to live today with her husband and three children.
I like the cover but what is she jumping out of? An abandoned building?
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI like the cover because it is different. Covers that have a different type than the typical male/female on front tend to catch my attention more. Tells me there was thought put into it.
ReplyDeleteIts a good cover, goes well with the blurb of the book! Mentioned in a conment before, its different then the rest of the covers you see.
ReplyDeleteInteresting cover and makes me wonder why she running...
ReplyDeleteIt's unusual. I have never seen anything like it. Is she coming out of the ground? a cave? Intriguing.
