Check out the cover of my forthcoming novel The Haunted Housewives of Allister, Alabama at All Things Urban Fantasy.

My publisher has packed so many elements from the novel into the cover design: the protagonist Cleo Tidwell, the historic Victorian home located in small town Alabama based on my own Victorian home and the town in which I currently reside, the little Elvis beside the title [the subtitle is Cleo Tidwell & the Haunted Velvet Elvis], and the title itself which is a riff on a Reality TV show and something I'll most likely continue with the series--riffing on TV show titles, that is. The model for my protag reminds me of the covers of the Trixie Belden books I loved as a kid and that I still have and continue to collect today. If you're curious, check out these covers from the 1970s
