A couple of months ago, the citizens of Plastiqueville were commissioned to provide some photography for a new contemporary romance from Parisian Phoenix Publishing.  Trapped, (cover with blurb above) will be available to eager readers sometime around Valentine's Day.  Not only does it come with a beautiful cover, shot on location in Plastiqueville Park, but there are B&W images sprinkled throughout the book like Easter eggs.  I used to love that in a book when I was a kid (quite the bookworm I was), so it's refreshing to find it here.  Here's hoping that Parisian Phoenix chooses to do this with future titles.

Of course, now that means that the skunks have come to Plastiqueville, but they don't seem to be much of a nuisance so far.  After spending $21 on a fancy plastic skunk from Bonsai Outlet (pictured above), I realized that we did have some native squirrels, and with a little paint, they could easily be repurposed as skunks.  I even toyed with the idea of an albino skunk.  All this madness can be viewed in the pages of Trapped.
