I want to say ‘thank you’ to so many people, but I feel like it lessens the joy of seeing your name in the acknowledgements if I go blabbing it everywhere else, you know who you are. Thank you for everything. And to those who plan to begin reading this work, thank you, too!
Walls of Ash Cover Art!
I am pleased to announce to you all that the Walls of Ash cover art is officially complete. First, I’d like to say a big ‘thank you’ to Erica Wilson, who took the time out of her busy mom-schedule to do this for me, she is amazing!
This cover was meant to be a sort of homage to the very popular Gothic Romance covers of the 1970’s but with a modern twist. As many of my friends and family know, I am obsessed with Eleanor Hibbert who wrote under many pseudonyms, but specifically her Victoria Holt books had covers that often featured a large, dark house with a gloomy atmosphere and a young woman nearby. Erica did a great job of capturing this in a modern form.
I’m looking forward to releasing the book to you, hopefully mid to late December. I’ll keep sending out updates as I have them to offer to you. In the mean time, enjoy this piece, Erica worked hard on it and her cover art came out fantastic!
