No matter how often it happens, I love this stage of publishing!
When the story is ready to go, and it’s time for the cover to be designed. It’s always exciting to be the first to see a new design
And thanks to my regular designer Olly at MoreVisual I’ve a treat in store for upcoming release Tower of Shadows
With publication date to be confirmed (likely in early May), the design needs a few tweaks before the reveal a week or two before then. But suffice to say this beauty will make an appearance – in a slightly disguised form anyway.

Do you know the place? It’s the architectural star of Tower of Shadows – although I’ll admit in fictionalized form and sporting a pseudonym.
As for the human stars – if you’ve read my previous posts about Tower of Shadows, you’ll know they’re named Drew and Mairi. I hope to be able to introduce them to you soon too.
Watch this space!
