I’ve been working on a surprise for fans of The Pruxnae Series. Thief of Hearts is a novella-length prequel to The Choosing featuring Alna Lomig and Gared ab Einif, Ryn abid Alna’s adoptive parents. It takes place about thirty (Earth) years prior to The Choosing and is set on Alna’s home planet, Zinod, not far from Abyw. A release date and…Continue reading Cover Reveal: Thief of Hearts

New Cover for A Wicked Love
A few days ago, I discussed possible changes for the Witches of Cullowhee Series, including a new series title and covers. Well, I’m very happy to announce that part of those changes are now being put into effect. The series will henceforth be called the Cullowhee Heritage Series. The focus is still very much on…Continue reading New Cover for A Wicked Love
The Cover for The Choosing, Take 2
So, I’m still fiddling with the cover for The Choosing (A Novel of the Pruxnae). That shouldn’t surprise anyone. The change this time was prompted by the discovery that my background picture was only 72 dpi, which, of course, isn’t nearly a good enough quality (especially considering that, for some odd reason, all the other pictures defaulted…Continue reading The Cover for The Choosing, Take 2
Cover Reveal: The Choosing (A Novel of the Pruxnae)
So, sometimes I get things stuck in my head and have to work them out before I can move on. One of the things I’ve had stuck there (for a while now) is learning how to do my own covers.

Cover Reveal: Tempered (A Daughters of the People Novel)
At long last, we have a cover for Tempered, the next book in the Daughters of the People Series. I think we can all agree it was well worth the wait. The cover designer, L.J. Anderson of Mayhem Cover Creations, had to Frankenstein the female in order to get the look I was aiming for. She did a spectacular…Continue reading Cover Reveal: Tempered (A Daughters of the People Novel)
Evolution of a Cover
As part of my ever-expanding attempt to grow as an author and learn about the book industry, I am constantly reading, absorbing lessons from other writers, studying my own tactics and reformulating them, and, yes, re-thinking the stories I write and how I’ve presented them, including the covers. For example, does a particular cover accurately…Continue reading Evolution of a Cover
