Voting for your favorite CounterBlow book cover is over, and we have a tie. Over the past two weeks, the voting took an early back and forth between the candidate covers.
The poll ended in a tie between options 1 and 3. Hmmm, which to choose? When this happens in the Senate of our federal government, our VP decides and casts a tie-breaker. That’s what I am going to do.

‘Counterblow: Revenge is Sweet‘, an erotic thriller about global human trafficking, is the latest from Richard Verry‘s Consortium series. Counterblow is a disturbing but captivating erotic thriller about dark romance and primal desires.

Meanwhile, a dark romance begins between Avril and Sir; Avril helps Sir understand love, something he’s never truly known. But his sister opposes this growing possibility.
Can he restore his Consortium, appease Raven, and control his dark emotions?
Ever wondered if you’re being hunted? Are you looking over your shoulder? Paranoid? This story may prompt you to question whether that’s true.
Counterblow is a disturbing but captivating erotic thriller. Look for it in late Spring 2025. In the meantime, catch up on the series on Amazon.
Counterblow, Consortium book 8 is almost here. That’s right, everyone. It’s completed several rounds of edits, and my copyeditors are looking for inconsistencies, sudden tense shifts, etc. They should finish in the next couple of weeks, and then it will be ready to schedule for publication.
In the meantime, here is the book cover. I did something different this time. I prepared a few prototype book covers and asked many people for their opinions on which one they liked best. The question I asked them to consider. If you were walking past a table at Barnes & Noble, which cover would entice you to stop and look closer? By an overwhelming majority, this is the winner.
What do you think? Were they right? Would this cover stop you in your tracks to take a closer look?
As my copy editors do their work, I’m working with a marketing team to promote my stories better. I do alright, but I know I can do better. I know little about marketing—at least I know that I don’t know—so I reached out for help. Naturally, it’s cutting into my budget, but it’s all good if I can offset that with increased sales. I’m also considering getting a professional website designer to upgrade my website. I need it to be more about my business and less about me.
So yes, Counterblow, Consortium book 8 is almost here. I can’t wait to release it. The previous books are available on Amazon if you haven’t read them yet. While you don’t need to read the earlier books in the series, it will help you understand the story behind Counterblow.
Again, what do you think? Could you drop me a note and let me know? I’m always interested in hearing from you, my readers. Thank you.
