It's no big secret that I like books; especially Romance novels, especially especially Historical Romance Novels. The stories are fun and lovely, and the covers are like candy. Beautiful, artistic, and wonderful.
Some people collect stamps, or baseball cards, or wine corks (I don't know why, they just do) I collect something else. I collect books. and I'll share a little secret, I especially collect books where a particular photographer is behind that gorgeous cover. That photographer is Jenn LeBlanc.
Not only is Jenn a fantastically talented photographer, she's an author too! So I am double excited today to take part in the release day blitz for her newest release Absolute Surrender!
(I may or may not be fangirling out a little here!)
Let's meet Jenn!
Colorado.
Canon. Curls. CJs. Chuck Norris
Born and raised in this beautiful
state —very nearly with a camera in hand— I never left. I started my own
family, got used to the curls, went to college, built a CJ, started a business,
and totally beat the daylights out of Chuck Norris, all with a camera in hand.
Spending my days in parenting chat
rooms I got highly adept with one-handed typing and I can still type just about
as fast with one hand as I can with two. It’s a great talent to have when
engrossed in a scene and in need of a hit of caffeine. Once I finished my first
novel I quickly realized: I was born a photographer.
From the realization that someone ELSE would be shooting the cover of MY book my control-freak took over. What
started as an easy cover shoot ballooned into this completely new kind of
media, designed specifically for digital book readers. The Illustrated Romance.
I live and thrive off chaos and the
constant flow of the creative process. I wears shorts and flip-flops year-round
—much to the chagrin of my friends and family.
The images from my book started a
ruckus, and from there, #StudioSmexy was born, I’ve since shot over 300 romance
novel covers, and currently shoot custom images for very special clients.
My first novel THE RAKE AND THE RECLUSE: REDUX is
doing its own Chuck Norris impersonation with the time travel charts on Amazon,
where it took up residence for over a year. You can find me on Twitter
and Facebook
sharing eyecandy (NSFW) and being a total rock star.

About ABSOLUTE SURRENDER:
Happiness was always too
much for Lady Amelia to hope for. Now all she expects is to secure her future
and marry Charles, Duke of Castleberry, as arranged. But Amelia has a dangerous
secret that could not only destroy her in Charles's eyes and the eyes of
society, but could also very well condemn her to Bedlam.
Baron Endsleigh, Amelia’s
oldest friend, has other ideas. Ender has loved Amelia all his life. He knows
her secrets, and they don’t frighten him. He plans to come between Amelia and
Charles in any way he can to prevent the marriage and finally claim Amelia for
his own. Though her father forbade the match years ago, Ender is determined to
have her as his wife and nothing can stop him. Not even a duke as powerful as
Castleberry.
That duke has hated Baron
Endsleigh and wanted Amelia for, what seems to him, forever. Charles will stop
at nothing to make her his, and his alone, even if that means destroying the
one thing he knows she loves most in this world—Endsleigh.
Will Amelia be able to
choose when one man speaks to her head and the other her heart?
None of them will find
happiness until they all three learn to embrace absolute surrender.
