*****

BLURB: After one of the worst nights of his life, DEA Agent T.A. Reddick leaves Miami for Charleston, SC, hoping a return to his roots will heal a wounded heart and the guilt of killing a friend.  The sleepy and sultry city of Charleston is filled with echoes of the Old South: genteel playboys, society debutantes, and quiet cobblestone streets.  But as Reddick will soon discover, there’s danger lurking under her charming veneer.  When a movie star’s death shines a national spotlight on Charleston’s underground cocaine trade, he must go undercover to find the main supplier and shut him down.  As a hurricane bears down on the port city and the DEA gets ready to spring its trap, Reddick must contend with more than he ever could have imagined.

  Brash and bold, TA Reddick is a hero you won’t soon forget.  Lowcountry Punch is an action-packed novel that will have you on your knees begging for more.

Cover: “Milovaná” Czechoslovakian version of “Beloved” by Beatrice Small

by | Dec 27, 2013 | ,

I have recently done a few covers for Baronet, a publishing company in Czechoslovakia who has the Czechoslovakian translation rights to many well known  romance novels. A lot of times when a publishing company gains the translation rights, they have to have a new cover created. That’s where I come in. I have to admit, I’m quite giddy about this, but shhh! Don’t tell them! I have to play it cool and professional. 😉

Our most recent project was on the cover for the Czechoslovakian version of Beatrice Small’s “Beloved”, translated to “Milovaná“.

The print editions are hardcover not paper back, and I do not add the back text, or inner flap information because, well I don’t read Czechoslovakian. So I leave it blank for the publishing company to add. The hardcover wrap is what makes the overall flattened image look so long compared to my usual paperback print editions.

Cover: “Voyeurs of Death” by Shaun Jeffrey + B&A

by | Dec 11, 2013 | ,

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!

*****

BLURB: From monsters to ghosts, Shaun Jeffrey runs the gamut in this new and expanded collection. Herein are found a diverse mix of the sinister, erotic, strange and surreal. From the foreboding alleyways of Venice to a bleak Scottish island, the horror is never far away. A young boy fixes dead things. You can’t always judge a man by the cut of his suit, especially when the suit isn’t made of cloth. A relaxing cruise is anything but once the passengers start to die, only to then come back to life. And a trip to the past has dire consequences for the future. Now turn the page and join the voyeurs of death.
