One of the things about working on a book cover is, the length of time you need to keep mum about it. I am always excited to post what I am working on but know that publishers are careful about their own "big reveals". I went over to Deva Fagan's blog, who is the books author, and saw she had the cover and pictures of the galleys up so now I will post the art. This turned out to be such and interesting read. It is a Young Adult novel, suitable for a tween that is a good reader (the content is fine) and also a good read for an adult. Something that you can read together actually. I have a girlfriend, Susan, whose belong to a book club with her daughter .(Isn't that a good idea?) This would be and excellent book club read.
BUT on to the art....ha! I love it when publishers are open to letting the illustration flow right onto the back cover. I think this wrap around style can set the entire mood of a novel. In her blog Deva mentioned that I chose a night scene. I did! There was a specific night scene in the book that was so descriptive and romantic. As soon as I read it, I felt like I was there so that is the image I pushed for. Fun! I believe the book comes out this Spring!
