2019 is officially the Year of Change around here. Not only did the Miso Cozy Mysteries get a makeover but now the Nogiku Series as well! Once again, if you are seeing the old covers in the header or the sidebar or in this post, please clear your cache. I always replace the old images on my server to give a consistent experience.
I was really lucky to get all of these in the first part of the year. I had my designer booked for June, and she fit me in early when other people canceled on her. We were just finishing up the last of them when I broke my leg! Talk about timing!
2019 felt like the year to make a new start with these books. When I got these covers redesigned a few years ago, I had wanted people on the covers but good stock images of Asians/Japanese were hard to come by. What a difference a few years makes! Najla Qamber did such a great job on these designs. She combined images and made my characters come to life. I'm so darned grateful.
And I'm so happy to have these now as I feel they really fit the tone of the series. They mirror the designs of other sci-fi romance books on the market and give a taste of what's in each book. Together as a set, they represent the themes I present in the books. I'm really happy with them! And they will usher in new ads and new ventures into getting these books into the hands of readers who will love them.
Take a look!
Aren't they gorgeous? I'm so happy!
A note about the paperbacks
Like the previous Miso Cozy books, it's going to take me another week or two to get the paperbacks for these books all straightened up. I need to do the whole kitten-caboodle on this. New covers, new ISBNs, new interior files. It's a real pain in the butt, and honestly, I don't sell many copies of this series in paperback so I'm not motivated to get to it right away. Soon, though. Before the end of the month.

It’s easy for Sanaa to ignore the first signs of trouble. After all, she’s living her dream with a job and life she loves. But when she’s reassigned as a data analyst for a mysterious, well-connected man, she starts to piece together the alarming reality. Corrupt clans vie for control of the city, desperate for a ticket off the dying planet.
