About the cover from the author:

I love it! You've got everything there: 

Vena, the avenging angel, 

and the missing pages of the Keats' poem. 

Plus, you kept the colors which will help 

people identify the series--just wonderful. 

––Nancy Avery Dafoe

This was a fun cover! 

As the second in a series, 

I try to keep elements of the first book

so readers will identify this as part of a series.

In addition, the author had a clear vision

of what she wanted for a cover. 

This came together quickly 

and pleased both the author and me!

COVER CHALLENGES from behind the keyboard: 

This cover was one where I loved the first cover...

and the author blasted it. Said it did not fit the book.

So...a total redesign. 

This time with more faces than I've ever put on the cover of a book.

But it came together and worked!

So, the author was pleased and I was pleased.

 But I'm saving that first cover,

because I know someday there will be a book

that it fits perfectly!

ABOUT THE COVER

The journey of a book cover can be a story itself, as was the case with this cover.

I started out with several versions that I did not send to the author because I didn't like them. 

When I found a concept and colors that clicked, I sent that version to the author. Unfortunately, the graphic I used for one of the main elements of the story did not fit what was in the book!

Then came a dozen versions of me searching for something that both matched the author's vision and pleased me. Not happy with any of them. 

So I went back to the design of the initial version I sent the author. Fashioned a tailor-made Arc that pleased both me and the author, and started resizing elements on the cover and adding other elements to draw in different parts of the story. 

In addition, instead of solid black silhouettes of the two main characters on the front that we started out with, the author and I came up with some select additions of color for these--a flowing brownish-red cloak for one and the stark white hair of another. Success at last!

In the words of the author: "I love these...I am very pleased and appreciative of your efforts."

As always, I am humbled to be part of bringing an author's vision to life. And, Greg, I wish you much luck with this debut novel!

A BIT ABOUT DESIGNING THE COVER:

As usual, I approach designing a book cover 

as teamwork between the author and me. 

First, the author fills out a cover art questionnaire 

that I use to draft an initial concept of the cover. 

Sometimes the first draft is close to their perfect vision, 

but more often it's a starting point and 

we revise, tweak, and sometimes start over from there.

For this cover, we started working with 

silhouettes for the main characters, 

but that just wasn't coming together. 

So I sent the author a version of the cover using photos. 

His response: "Didn’t think I’d like photos but I love Nate!!!!" 

He sent me a link to a photo to use for the other character, Jude,

and the cover came together quickly. 

Some tweaks here and here and voila!

It's final! "Let's do it!" the author said.
