Have you ever wondered exactly HOW a book cover comes together?

My next book, Quinn and the Quiet, Quiet, is the most beautiful cover yet, IMHO, in the award-winning Weird Stories Gone Wrong series. It's a series of horror stories for kids ages 9-12, and book 2, Myles and the Monster Outside, won the OLA Silver Birch Express Honour Book in 2017.

The series gets compared to Goosebumps a lot, which is amazing, and the covers and inside illustrations are all the creations of Shawna Daigle, a wonderful artist.

Anyway, if you're interested in how the covers come together, and want to see the 5 main stages (including the first hilarious "draft" from me, an author who truly CANNOT draw), then check out my other blog: https://phdowding.blogspot.com/2019/0...

Quinn and the Quiet, Quiet is forthcoming from Dundurn Press, September, 2019.
