Welcome everyone!
I have some fantastic news to share today! I just received the first pass on the cover for my third book, and it looks great! I won't belabor the point since anyone who has read my blog for a while knows that my original cover artist is no longer able to work with me. As a result, I have been delayed in releasing my third book due to an enormous amount of angst concerning the cover. Well, that anxiety is relieved. I am so happy with what I've seen so far, and I just need to request a few corrections before I start the cover reveal. It'll be coming soon!
Now, a discerning eye will be able to not subtle differences between the first two books and Book 03. However, I think I'm just going to go with it. Book 03 has a very different tone and purpose from the first two books. While the major motifs for both the text and the covers remains the same, Book 03 represents a shift in my storytelling style. Therefore, it seems natural that the elements of the cover should shift too.
What this mean is: the covers for Book 04 and Book 05 will also have small, subtle changes to reflect the arc of the main character. Doing so will give me some symmetry in the way the books appear on a shelf. So Books 01 and 02 will have very similar cover elements. Book 03 will be unique on its own. Then Books 04 and 05 will look similar to each other.
I hope that makes sense. And if it doesn't, you'll just have to keep coming back here for more updates to see how it all unfolds (wink wink). So anyway, the bottom line is this: the new cover is going to look amazing. I am so relieved that my new cover company could make it happen. Once all the final touches are done, I'll move on to finishing my proofreader's comments and then it will be time to publish!
I can't wait to share it with you!
Peace,
-Troy
