A New Update

My apologies for such a long absence from my blog, life has been hectic as of late and I've had to neglect some things because others took precedence.  However, I finally found a few moments to sit down and wanted to share that the second book in my Exiled trilogy, Continuation, has a new look.

As I've said before, I have no artistic talent in the drawing/designing field.  Jess O'Connell, who redesigned the cover for my first book, The Exiled, has been kind enough to redesign the second book cover as well.

I was absolutely amazed at the cover design she did.  Astonished.  Breathless.  My jaw literally dropped when I saw it.  Yes, she did that good of a job.  I believe I have posted a link to her work in a previous blog, so I ask those of you who read this to take a few moments and check out her available works.

So here is the old cover of Continuation:

And here is the new look for it:

And even though I have said it through countless emails, thank you so very much Jess O'Connell, for such breathtaking work. 

I used to think art was paintings.  As I grew older, I realized that 'art' is more than paintings.  It's music.  It's writing.  It's designing buildings.  It's designing book covers.  We have artists showing us their talent each and every day, and too often I think we don't take the time to really realize just how much work has gone into it all.  So to all the artists out there, in every form, Thank You.
