Bluemusings: Cover Art Reveal and All the News

Cover Art Reveal
 

Chris Howard is the excessively talented artist (and writer and all around wonderful human) whose original art graces the covers of all of the Halcyone Space books. When I was finally in the home stretch with LITANY FOR A BROKEN WORLD, I approached him to do its cover. Luckly for me, while Chris isn't doing cover art commissions, he was intrigued with the story and it just so happened he was working on drawing city scapes.

Look at what he created!

This is the entire print version cover image - front and back - made into a postcard I can distribute at upcoming promotional events.

The final cover typography is in process. The image is so evocative of the story. Chris nailed it. Completely. I can't wait to see it on the bookshelf!
