Summer Love by Liana Metal, a graphic novel love story


SUMMER LOVE synopsis: Elira feels trapped running her family's little hotel on the Greek island of Hydra. She's never traveled, never experienced love, never really lived. Then a handsome mysterious stranger checks in, and Elira can't hide her fascination. But Nicolas Soulakis is on a dangerous mission. When he is forced to elicit Elira's help, guilt gnaws at him for taking advantage of her obvious feelings for him. Never mind that those dove-gray eyes entrance him, that her shapely body drives him mad with desire. Soon that desire explodes in a fiery outpouring of need, and Nicolas knows he's lost.

Thanks Liana. I didn't have much to post on this book, so went with what I had. I think the title is linked to the site to purchase the book. Good luck and see you all in the postings - E :)

How interesting to "meet" an author of comic books.

Thanks, Eysabeth and Liana.

Congratulations on being a comic book author. I think that's great and a romance comic at that. Wonderful!

What fun! I love comic books. More importantly, reluctant readers are more likely to read comics than a traditional book. We've got to 'hook'em anyway we can.'

Karen Cioffi said...

Hey, Liana, that's so interesting that you write for comics. Is it a tough market to get into?

Great sounding book, Liana - and I just love the cover. Elysabeth - nice job on the feature post layout, also. Also like the way you spell your name! :)

Elysabeth, yes, I know, I was searching for an excerpt-next time maybe...I misplaced the file. You did just fine, thanks!

Vivian, Nancy, Kathy

It was fun doing it but I spent about 4 months with the revisions-it was hard work! They assigned me a artist to do the pictures. I would try it again if the new editor was more cooperative.
Thanks,
Liana

Karen, I actually sold them all rights-that's their request, so I can only have a credit. I think this market is not so big-in Greece only very young people buy comics-(including me!LOL)
Thanks,
Liana

Harry and Marvin,
The story has also a song in the background-in the middle of the story during the love scenes-and all the pictures are very good, the artist is fantastic! The writer has to follow certain rules to satisfy the reader (and the editor!)eg. a specific number of love scenes and so on. I've learned a lot, I don't deny it, and I would do it again just for the experience(not the financial benefits).
Thanks for visiting,
Liana
