Carrie Butler, of So, You’re a Writer has a book coming out, and today is cover release day! She was one of my first followers, and she’s a hockey fan to boot, so how could I pass up the opportunity to help out? I couldn’t. So, here’s the deal on Strength:

When college student Rena Collins finds herself nose-to-chest with the campus outcast, she’s stunned. Wallace Blake is everything she’s ever wanted in a man—except he can’t touch her. His uncontrollable strength, a so-called gift from his bloodline, makes every interaction dangerous. And with a secret, supernatural war brewing among his kind, there’s no time to work it out. To keep Wallace in her life, Rena will have to risk a whole lot more than her heart.

Pretty cool stuff. The ‘he can’t touch her’ made me think of the quirky, short-lived TV show, Pushing Daisies, though the reasons for not touching are quite different, and I suspect Carrie’s story is a bit more serious.

Now, for the cover:

No fair, she photoshopped someone’s head on my body!

Pretty powerful stuff.

And if that’s not enough to hook you, there’s a trailer, too:

Very cool.
