Cover: “Voyeurs of Death” by Shaun Jeffrey + B&A
I recently finished up the new cover for author Shaun Jeffrey’s collection of short horror stories, “Voyeurs of Death“. He requested that a not so familiar Scottish monster called the Flibbertigibbet be featured on the cover. His description included things such as ” a kilt of flesh adorned with a sporran of skulls”, “a set of pipes made from skin and bone”, and “large horns sticking out of its head like a stag and its features were thing and drawn, its eyes glowing white”. I certainly had my work cut out for me! I have included a before and after at the end of the post.
Now available on ebook and coming soon to print!

Before & After Request: Emily Chambers
I had a guest comment with a request on my Before and After page to show the b&a of The Emily Chambers Spirit Medium Series by CJ Archer. Even though I am not sure which of the books they wanted to see, I aim to please. So here are the before and afters for all three!
Ok, I admit it, my little image equation up there might be a tad difficult to understand when you’re not in my head. So I will break it down. For consistency we used the same background image on all three covers, and the same model.
Here is book one’s (The Medium) images broken down:
Book two’s (Possession)
When we came to book three (Evermore), we realized we were out of stock images of this model! SO I took the model’s head off of book two and found an image with this [odd] woman who was dressed right and had a pretty parasol to boot! Never mind the red spotlight…
And there you have it! The covers for The Emily Chambers Spirit Medium series. Admittedly there weren’t a ton of images involved, but they definitely came together as completely different, original covers.

Needless to say, Naomi desperately wants to go home, but that poses a problem because the only way she knows how is by unicorn horn, and the one she had, stayed on Earth. Her best hope is a crazy witch named Agatha, but Agatha is the one who tricked her into marrying Tavik. And then RAN OFF.

Cover: “The Death of the Wave” by G.L. Adamson
The upcoming dystopian fantasy from author G.L. Adamson, brought to you by Greyhart Press, “The Death of the Wave”.
Look for it coming soon to print and ebook!
BLURB:
“I had sent the words out into the world and there is no going back.
For it is the words that defines immortality.
It is the mere fact that the words exist at all.
I was to save the people no matter the cost.
And if I die, I will live on under my name.
For I am words and words know how to wait.”
Following the fall of the modern world, the State of Eden is divided into two distinct classes that all adolescents must test into. Students with math and science aptitude enjoy a high quality of living and technology in the Palaces, but in the Camps, students with artistic and verbal abilities must scrounge to survive.
Breaker 256, a policewoman who was born into poverty, had always followed the rules for the sake of her family. But when the unthinkable upends her world forever, she is faced with an irrevocable decision: take down the State, and face defeat, anarchy, and death, or stand idly by to watch the sufferings of all of that she cares for.
Written in a lean, minimalistic style that reflects the desolate world of Eden, The Death of the Wave asks what is most important: is it the person who tells the tale or the fact that the story has been told at all?
