I was recently inspired to write something a little different, and, as often happens now, I did some cover art to find the right mood and tone for the story. I think of it as storyboarding the book. Sometimes I even create more than one image to find the story. It’s just part of my process now, and I have to admit it’s a lot of fun. And, as I continue to learn the craft of storytelling in words, I’m also learning new art skills and, in my opinion, achieving increasingly better results. That the image matches a scene from the story (in my head, anyway) is pure gravy!
And, for the curious among you, here’s the story!
It’s a little Indiana Jonesesque, and it was a lot of fun to write.
A shameless plug wouldn’t be shameless without the accompanying Amazon link. 😉
