Like I said, it was a really tough decision to get a new cover for Chosen of Azara. Katt of Design by Katt
did a fantastic job with the previous two covers, and she was wonderful
to work with. I highly recommend her for beautiful photomanip covers.
But with two more books coming out soon in the Estelend world, I wanted
to tie all three of them together with similar cover styles that would
also go with the cover of The Warrior and the Holy Man, another
Estelend book. Matching all those covers would be really hard to do
when working with photo-based covers, especially since it's also really
hard to find stock photos that work for my particular brand of romantic
high fantasy. So I commissioned Mominur Rahman, who did the amazing covers for Daughter of the Wildings and the Warrior and Holy Man cover, to do the covers for the new Estelend books and also the new cover for Chosen.
I think he did a wonderful job of capturing Sevry and Lucie, and Juzeva
too, up there in the corner, and also in nailing the genre and the type
of story. The previous covers will remain on display on the book page for Chosen;
in the meantime I'll also start getting the updated files uploaded. It
might take a few days for them all to go live and for me to get all the
images on the site updated.
Chosen will be going on promo for a few days early in September, and the collection of companion stories, The Brilliant Career of Sajur Golu and Other Tales of Azara, will be out in the next couple of weeks. So watch for those; to make sure you don't miss out on these and other new releases and special offers, sign up for my email alerts.
Anyway, that's cool thing #1. Cool thing #2 is coming up in just a few days, and I am so excited about this! I'm like a little kid on Christmas Eve; I can hardly wait. Stay tuned!
