Here it is, ladies and gents, the cover for the upcoming release:
It’s surreal, to see my vision translated into cover art. It’s also a far cry from the really awful cartoonish-like sketches I whipped up originally, before I came to my senses and hired a professional.
Enter cover artist and fellow writer Harris Channing. She was patient as I sent her rambling pages of ideas, telling her what I wanted and – more importantly – what I didn’t want. And when I went through some kind of psychological crack about the font in my name being too big, she calmly advised against too drastic a reduction. (Originally, it was two sizes bigger. And sometimes when I look at it, it still strikes me as too large, but I’m fighting that reaction. Do I not want people to see my name? Is that the fear talking?)
Speaking of fear … I’m wrapping up final edits this week, and should have the book up and running by this weekend. *Fingers crossed.* (And panic attack pending.)
