Cover Art

So cover art is kind of a big deal to me.  I want it to convey my story to the readers in an image.  The old saying of don’t judge a book by its cover is a wonderful idea but one I find myself personally not always following.  If I can’t trust myself to not swoon or cringe at a books cover can I ask more from my readers?  So the search for cover art began.  Many people know I have been a freelance artist for over five years so it seemed obvious I would do my cover art, right?  Nope.  The more thought I gave it the more I didn’t want blur the lines between my art and my writing.  I have lived and breathed art for so long when I took on this monumental writing dream I made the decision to allow it to be the soul focus.  It may seem silly but I felt like doing my own cover was opening that door I wanted closed for now.

I started searching cover designers and found a couple I liked but even still I wanted something special and unique.  I have enlisted the help of someone I think will make a spectacular and extremely unique cover that is a lot closer to home.  Who is doing the cover you ask?  Well thats a surprise but when the cover is released I promise to share.  Its an exciting process and I am enjoying every part so far!
