I'd like you to meet Nikki Donovan
Nikki Donovan is the 16-year-old heroine of my DEMON PRINCESS young adult series, which launches in 19 little days with the first book, REIGN OR SHINE!
Also included in the book is the first teaser chapter from DEMON PRINCESS #2: REIGN CHECK that will be out June 2010.
I had an illustrator friend do up a couple visualizations of Nikki. I’ll be using these pics on various promo pieces. Check out Chris at Kitestring Creative if you’re in need of a fab illustrator. I also do illustration, or at least I used to, but wanted to get a fresh take on the character so I totally outsourced. And I’m glad I did. I think these pictures are completely adorable!
Since Nikki is half demon and half human, she has a couple different looks…..
Normal high school girl….
And, uh…not normal high school girl…. (FYI, she looks way calmer in this pic than she does in the book about this particular revelation).
In any case, Nikki says hello and she looks forward to hopefully getting to know many readers in the months ahead.

At least the dress is spaghetti straps, so no garment ripping as the wings emerge, right? Not sure what the tail would do to the skirt, though.
Comment
I figure the tail would remain under the skirt, but the you can’t see it! LOL
Comment
They look good, she is adorable. Is it October yet???
Comment
But where does the tail and wings hide when wearing jeans???

Michelle, Nikki looks amazing! Your illustrator did a great job and I am so excited to meet her in the book. I believe Nikki and I will be spending some quality time together.

Joanne… her new appendages come and go.

wow…book sounds amazing! I can’t wait to read it!
Comment
Ah, Nikki Donovan is so cute. I look forward to reading the series!
Comment
Having wings that can vanish would be SO much easier when flying down to Dragon*Con…. LOL
Of course will have to buy the book to see if she would even need to get on a plane!
Comment
I know what am buying to read on the plane to New York….
