The Lives of Cover Models

I'm looking through stock art websites to find cover models for the Ondine books. I'm also having a mild panic attack that I won't have the cover done in time for the June release, so I'm procrastinating like anything.

I really love these two - they look so much like Ondine and Hamish, I have to use them.



No, she doesn't have an unfortunate birthmark on her face, that's the Dreamstime watermark, because I haven't paid for the pics yet. I'm not sure which one I'll go with, but when I make the decision, yes, I am going to pay for it. A whole $15 or so.

So I'm looking through so many pictures of this couple. They are delightful.

I call this one "The third wheel"

Sweetie with the big glasses is photobombing, trying to move in on Hamish, and Ondine is going to snap her neck if she flirts one more time....

Here's Ondine working at a call centre, making the most of it. Brugel is in recession again.


But now she's a scientist! Woot!


Here Ondine is with Hamish. So in love...


And now she and Hamish have a blog, which brings them joy. And a source of income.


But ... who is this IMPOSTOR with Ondine? She BELONGS with Hamish!


He's lured Ondine away? How dare he????


You'd better have a long hard think about what you're doing, Blondie!


Hamish tries to win her back, but this isn't the way to do it!!!



Oh, a job came up in the Reykjavic office.
Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.


Ondine and Hamish are together again. As it should be.
