This week I want to share something awesome with all of you (don't you feel special?) I got my cover art! My artist's name is Valerie Tibbs and she rocks my socks. It's very difficult for an author to let someone visualize something that's been living inside your head for so many months (or years). In my case, Tyler and Layla were partly based on a model and an actor, so I had images in my mind of what they should look like.
I was asked to give physical descriptions and some other information to the cover artist and also put in a decent-sized excerpt from the book for inspiration. I sent her a spicy little scene from the first section of the book and it did the trick! The cover is gorgeous and nice and hot! It's a great realization of the characters inside my head and inside the book.
I quite like it and I hope you will all feel the same. So without further ado, here it is...
What do you think?
Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Anita. Me too!
ReplyDeletethis is sooooo cool!
ReplyDeleteBeeyootiful cove, Rachell! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nona & Cheryl. I can't wait to see it with the whole book attached!
ReplyDeleteGreat cover! Valerie Tibbs did a beautiful job. When I receive my cover art, that's when the book becomes real to me! Fiona Jayde has been doing my covers, and I love them. The next two covers are going to be challenges because of the character content, but I'm sure Fiona will be able to pull it off. Can't wait for the next one, ABOVE THE LAW.
