| Who says artists and writers can't be friends!? |
Today, we’re working on the
cover for HELL BECOMES HER and I just love the process with my artist. Most of
my responses to her are in all caps and end in exclamation points of extreme
happiness.
Julie:
Do you like this?
Me:
YES!
Julie:
What about this slight change?
Me:
YES! YES!
Julie:
Hmm . . .
Me:
YES! YES! YES!!!!111111
Read out loud, it probably
sounds like the diner scene from When
Harry Met Sally.
I’m ok with this.
An interesting side note
about cover art, Amazon has a few restrictions, a few quid pro quos. They’re
pretty basic, but I often forget about them. I’m generally looking for
semi-realism from the way a character is standing, the clothes he or she is
wearing, how they’re managing the weapon, etc.
Restrictions: Guns on cannot be pointed at a
character, directed out toward the customer, or handled by a minor
Of course, the model I
selected, and purchased, the one pointing her gun right at the viewer!
Fortunately, my artist is
awesome, and while it’s some additional effort, it’s not so much that it can’t
be managed.
So, we’re still on for re-releasing
the recover for HELL BECOMES HER this week, hopefully Friday!
