SOUL BORN Cover Art by Dan Dos Santos

Opal from SOUL BORN by Dan Dos Santos

Stunning.  I could not be any more happy with this. What do you all think?  Dan did an amazing job.  No surprise he's up for a Hugo Award this year. I will post the final version of the book cover as soon as I can.

Thanks!

SOUL BORN Status Update

Straight from the publisher;

"I think Soul Born is coming along nicely. The editor claimed it was pretty clean on the first pass. (That being plot and style.) This is normally the stage where we send back for any rewrites, before the nity gritty grammar and copy-editing. She's moved right to the second stage."

Thats pretty exciting news there!

Dan Dos Santos Nominated for a Hugo

Dan Dos Santos was nominated for a HUGO Award this year.  Great news.  He is an excellent artist and super easy to work with.  He and I plan to do all the SOUL BORN covers together.  Lets all hope he wins this year.  The award ceremony is held at Aussie Con 4.  http://www.aussiecon4.org.au/

Thanks all!

Soul Born cover art roughs

This week Dan Dos Santos presented me with three "roughs" to chose from for the cover of SOUL BORN.  First let me say, as an artist myself, someone who took two oil painting classes in art school, I was blown away by these "sketches" as he calls them.  I don't know how he did them, but in my wildest dreams my final paintings/art would look as good as these rough sketches.  OMG! The one I picked is so cool already I could enlarge it to poster size hang it in my office and stare at it all day.  The subject of the cover is Opal and the way he did her face has her gazing at the viewer with the most haunting look I have ever seen.  Trust me, I wish I could share them here, but it would spoil the surprise when the cover is done. Dan is working on the final version now and I should be seeing that in a few weeks.  I can only imagine how great it is going to turn out.

Cover Art + Short Story

Dan Dos Santos has begun the cover art for SOUL BORN.  I am dying to see some of his ideas.  His work is amazing, next time you are at the book store check out some of his covers.  As soon as I see the concepts and sketches he comes up with I will post my thoughts.

I just finished the final draft of a short story inside the SOUL BORN world. It's an origins story, and I am very excited about it. 

Thanks,
