Lots of people have asked about the cover for Witch Born, so I’m posting pictures so you can see how Eve and I arrived on the most awesome cover of 2012 (does my humility astound you?).
This was the first mock up Eve sent me. It sent me into full on squee mode. I mean, LOOK AT HER! I’ve been spoiled rotten in the cover department. I’m not sure I could ever use anyone but Eve. *sigh*
Still, I wanted to back up the focus a bit so we could get a little more of the story.
This was my second mock up. I loved how Eve had positioned Brusenna’s hips. The hands, not so much. They kinda bugged me.
Below is the third mock up. I loved her hands like this, but I didn’t want the pendant to be covered up, as it’s a big part of all three of the stories. I was showing this mock up to a friend of a friend and she said, “Why does she need to wear the necklace. Why doesn’t she just hold it.”
Do you hear the angels singing? Cause I did.
Oh my *&%$! Get ride of the fire. I hate the fire! Instead, let’s do a dress. I’m thinking red.

Wow, it's fascinating how much work and how many details go into creating a cover. And Eve did a wonderful job in the end. Awesome! (Phew, thanks for not letting that fire there, it looks kind of creepy.:)) And I want that dress too).
That last pic with the moths, glow, dress and everything would make a great wallpaper. And a poster! Love!
I couldn't get that fire dress off her fast enough! I hated it.
Thanks, Deea.
The art is stunning. She's gorgeous. Your cover artist is super talented.
This was a great cover! You definitely have a good cover artist 🙂
Lori: Agreed.
Shanella: I'm telling you, spoiled rotten.
Wow, so gorgeous. I think the end product is the best of them all. Man…you are so lucky your publisher lets you have a say with the cover.
