I am celebrating my first Anniversary of publishing with Amazon Kindle, and I have exciting news!
One year ago, on September 2, 2011 to be exact, I published STEPFORD USA, Book 1 of the Accidental Spy Adventure Series (formerly Jade Snow Adventure Series), on Amazon Kindle. Later the same month, I published Green Desert (Accidental Spy Prequel). On December 19, 2011 GOLD TRAIN (Accidental Spy Russia Adventure) came out.
To celebrate my first Anniversary on Kindle, I decided to give both GOLD TRAIN and STEPFORD USA a face lift. I’ve been wanting to change covers for quite some time as I believe that however nice the originals were, I could do better. So, I’ve been going back and forth with this idea for a while now and finally decided to take a plunge.
That said, I am very fond of the old covers and intend to keep them around as alternative covers. Gold Train paperback will still preserve its original cover till further notice.
Without further ado, presenting my new ebook covers:
GOLD TRAIN Cover 2012
STEPFORD USA Cover 2012
Check out the original 2011 covers here: Lada Ray Books
The new covers are live on Amazon Kindle on
Saturday, September 1, 2012!

Looking good. Love the mask!
Thanks so much, Darlene! You are awesome! :)
Lada, you are very successful at your job , you are very Studious and worthy of everything that I asked you something if I may on mali Thanks
Many thanks, Stefan. If you’d like to ask me a question, you may do so by sending me a private message via my website contact: http://www.ladaray.com/contact.html
Thank you Lada!
Love that new cover for Gold Train! Where did you find that mask, and what does it represent?
Thanks so much, David. I found the mask by accident. I actually had three different covers made with three distinctly different images. A couple of people I showed the sample covers to, all pointed at this one as being the best. So here we are.
What the mask represents? Many things:
1. Jade attending grand balls and the whimsical historic element
2. Old mystery, which is the driving force behind the story
3. Deception and everyone not being what they seem
4. Jade becoming a spy and hiding her own face behind a mask
5. And perhaps the forbidden romance between the main characters, as well.
That’s it, more or less.
Great covers Lada, I particularly like Gold Train ‘s,
Thanks, Guy! Glad so many people like it. I like that mask, too!

Great job, Lada! I love the new covers. Looking forward to the release of your new novel “Catharsis”!
Thanks so much for the good words, Mike!
Catharsis is actually a short. It is prequel to THE EARTH SHIFTER and part of the new series, Earth Keepers Chronicles.
