A New Look for Year of the Dog (and a Behind-the-Scenes Oops!) What do a dog trainer, a security expert, and a nearly-naked book cover have in common? Let me explain. 😅 Year of the Dog is the first book in my Christian romantic suspense series, Mahina Security, set in beautiful (and sometimes dangerous) Hawaii.

The model’s name is Mathias (isn’t he handsome?!), and here’s the original stock photo I picked: My designer tilted the image slightly and added a dagger and pistol behind him, both of which I also picked out! She removed the background, edited the weapons, and chose the deep violet background to complement the series’ aesthetic. Here’s a look at all the ...
