Cover art for book #1 in the Family Secrets Series

I've decided to freshen up the first cover to appear more vampire like. I loved my candle with the blood splatter on it however many took it as a regular family and it did not portray the change in the family. The fact that the midnight madam changed them hoping by getting rid of their humanity what she was obsessed with would not end up in their hands. Over the centuries she found it still wound up around the McAllister family. Since the new books Phantom Mist and Hailstorm are coming out I decided that this would be the best time to give the first book in the series Secret of the Night a makeover. I'll be posting soon the four covers, I'll update this post with them. I can't wait to share them with everyone!

Joss Whedon

Joss Whedon is a pretty impressive person for writing so many strong female roles. Personally I grew up watching Buffy the Vampire slayer which first turned me onto the fighter aspect that a girl can be perfectly fine taking care of herself. Then of course I became fascinated with vampires and that led me to my second fascination the amazing female writer Anne Rice and her vampire chronicles.

Joss Whedon had a way of not only creating the perfect mindset and addictive strong female characters but also the personal flaws in the character that are actually relateable and realistic for them.
I love the male characters he creates also. Many seem to only give power to one gender however he has proven both can be strong mentally and physically while carrying a lead role without canceling out the other. He makes it work as a partnership and this is only one of the amazing things that makes him a great writer!
Joss Whedon is best known for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Avengers, Angel, Toy Story, Much ado about nothing, The Cabin in the woods, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and so many more!
