Tell Us About Your Cover
What was your reaction when you first saw this cover?
This is the second version of this cover. The first was created when the book was published through an e-publisher. Once I got the rights back to the book, I was able to contract with a cover artist to create a new cover. I adore this cover. I think it is the best cover of any of my stories.
How did you choose the artist?
The artist is personally known to me. He has been doing cover art for years, and it was a pleasure to be able to get him to do this cover.
What was it like to work with this artist?
Working with the artist was easy. He strives to make the author happy. The only thing I wanted to change from the original design was the font on the lettering of my name. He made the change in minutes and sent me a new mockup of the design.
What do you like best about your cover?
The fire. Fire is involved in a pivotal moment in the story. I love seeing it included on the cover.
In what ways do the models match your story’s characters?
The models are a perfect fit for my characters. The artist used my descriptions of the main characters when choosing who to put on the cover. They are an exact match, right down to the ice-blue eyes of the hero.
A good cover conveys the genre at a glance. What are the genre clues on this cover?
I believe the hazy moon, the hero’s icy stare, and the attractive male and female models all help to convey the paranormal romance genre.
What emotions do you hope your cover communicates?
I wanted this cover to be like my heroes…dark and intriguing with an air of mystery.
If they are open to new authors, feel free to share their website.
The cover artist is DW Adler. You can find Don on Instagram @DW Adler or contact him via DW.Adler9@gmail.com

Is It True: Alpha Mine by Brenda Sparks @brenda_sparks #RLFblog #ParanormalRomance
He stood stone still, wrapped in the darkness of the shadows… Alpha Mine, by Brenda Sparks, a PNR novel in the Alpha Council Chronicles.Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Let’s play Is It True with today’s guest, Brenda Sparks. This is a game with yes and no questions. Writers can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.
Alpha Mine by Brenda Sparks
Genre Paranormal Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
In the shadows of the night, there exists a band of warriors–a group of vampires, known as the Alpha Council. Their formidable leader, Stephan von Haas, has vowed to protect not only his kind but the humans existing alongside them. His duty comes before all else–until a sassy blonde saunters into his life.
When a sensual, dark-haired stranger walks into Katrina Spencer’s life, he stirs her deepest desires and sweeps her into a world beyond her wildest dreams. But when Katrina is targeted by Stephan’s enemies, reality shifts into something violent and deadly, as she is thrust into a realm where vampires stalk the shadows and vengeance is coming for her.
Together they will confront an extraordinary destiny of peril, passion, and dark pleasures. But when one horrid mistake brings retribution, their love may pay the price.
Is it true:
this is your first book?
Yes. This is the first book I published. It holds a dear place in my heart because I’ll never forget the feeling I had when my publisher offered me a contract for the story. The old saying is true…you never forget your first. 😉
this book is part of a series?
It is. Alpha Mine the first book in my Alpha Council Chronicles series.
you lost sleep while writing this book?
Sleep? What is this thing called sleep? The heroes of this story invaded my dreams, especially Stephan. I’d wake in the middle of the night and have to get out of bed to write down a scene.
you did research for this book?
The research needed for this book was a lot of fun, because it is set in Las Vegas. I love it when I can set a story in a place I have not been before. It gives me a great excuse to take a vacation to a fun new place. Of course, I can’t share anything else about the research for Alpha Mine, because, after all, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
There are vampires in this story, some are heroes, some are villains.
this book has more than one genre?
No. It is strictly a paranormal romance.
you speak more than one language?
I can understand a little Spanish, French, and sign language, but I speak English.
you grew up where you live now?
Unfortunately, no. I grew up in Virginia.
you love to read?
Absolutely! There is never enough time in a week to read, but I do it every chance I get. I’m a big fan of paranormal and historical romances.
you are never late?
I’m one of those people who feels like if I arrive 15 minutes ahead of schedule then I’m actually late. Being late is one of my biggest pet peeves.
you love pizza?
Ummm…yes!! I’m a wanna be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
you love sushi?
It’s not my thing, but I love watching the sushi chefs make it.
you have a pet?
I do not. We will be moving a great distance soon, so we have decided not to get another pet until after we move. I miss having a fur baby in the house but know that it would be difficult on one to make the move with us.
