Fanfare! The Demons On Wheels MC Covers

[Carol Rose]

The final Demons On Wheels MC book will be out within a few weeks, and I wanted to share the graphic of all the covers I just received. Evernight's covers are done by an incredibly talented artist named Jay Aheer. She's just amazing, and I adore these covers.

Really gothic and intense images (if those adjectives are right, I know little about cover design for these books), enticing.

They fit the genre, for sure. And Evernight covers tend to be very intense and dark like this.

I couldn't design a cover if I had to. LOL! Well, I *could* but it would look like a toddler drew it.

It looks like romance writing is the way to go, if these figures are to be believed:

The writer of the article, Chris Larson, makes a very good point about how the Romance Writers of America have an inclusive membership policy, that allows writers to join once they've completed an unpublished manuscript. This has helped the association and its members to prosper, whereas other writers' groups, such as the Authors Guild, Mystery Writers of America and Fantasy Writers of America, who only allow published authors to join, have seen a decline. The same situation is true in the U.K. with the Crime Writers Association, who bar self-published authors:

Membership — The Crime Writers' Association

It would seem that such snooty groups have never heard the phrases, Divide and Conquer and United We Stand.

Here is the information on joining RWA:

myRWA : Become a Member

Once you are a member, you may elect to join different levels of membership called PRO or PAN, but it's not mandatory. As a general member, you don't lose any benefits by not joining the sub-groups.

PRO is for writers who have submitted a romance manuscript to a publisher or agent, whether that manuscript was accepted or not.

PAN stands for Published Author Network, and is just what it says. For RWA members who are published in romance.

I can't say enough good things about RWA. I've belonged for years and it's well worth the yearly membership fee. I adore my local chapter. They are my friends, my beta readers, and some really cool people to hang out with once a month.

The educational opportunities, the yearly seminars, as well as the updated lists of publishers and agents who represent romance are invaluable. They were founded in 1980 by a group of published romance writers who felt an organization was needed to promote the genre and advocate for its authors.

Romance has been the number one selling genre, at least in the USA, for over 50 years now.
