Last week I mentioned celebrating everything.
Well, one thing that is extremely fun to celebrate is a new cover! I have a
wonderful cover artist for both The Lost Ancient Series as well as The Asarlaí Wars trilogy. Aleta Rafton. And she's done it
again!!!
Even though I don’t make the covers (clearly ;)) they are part of my heart and vision. When you work with a professional cover designer—a good one—you give an idea of what you’re thinking. Aleta will ask the genre, what the character looks like, costuming, ideas on setting, weapons, etc. They give some roughs, you pick, choose, and add changes until it becomes part of the book itself. It is the face of your book and you have to do all you can to make it look great and represent the book. Not everyone will love it. But, not everyone will love the books either ;).
I am proud to present the cover for the second Asarlaí
Wars book—Victorious Dead.
Estimated publication- Summer 2017.
The cover is awesome! Can't wait for book two to come out.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Neither can I ;).
DeleteThat looks amazing! You must be so excited.

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteTell your cover artist she is spot on. The first cover caught my eye, the book hooked me and this next cover is awesome. I love strong women on Sci-fi covers. Waiting patiently for the next 2 books in the trilogy, hope there may be more.
ReplyDeleteThank you! She is amazing--I really love her work :) And I will gladly tell her you said so as well!
