"Six Scary Tales" Books Get New Covers

I've commissioned an artist to create a new cover for the Six Scary Tales books.

As before, each volume will have the same cover picture in a different colour.

The old cover was something I cobbled together from two stock photos. The new one is painted by Erica Syverson, who has also painted the cover illustrations for Bites: Ten Tales of Vampires, Haunted: Ten Tales of Ghosts, Undead: Ten Tales of Zombies, and collaborated on the cover of Storm Dancer. She's good with dark and creepy images.

Original art is so much more exciting than stock photos.

The new cover will reflect the flavour of horror readers will find inside the book: atmospheric and creepy.

Fun, Fun, Fun! Showcasing "Storm Dancer " Fan Art

Fun, fun, fun!

I'm collecting art related to my dark epic fantasy novel Storm Dancer, and putting it all on a new web page.

Of course, there's the gorgeous painting Paul Davies and Erica Syverson created for the cover. Then there are some illustrations I've commissioned, and several pictures sent by fans.

It's exciting to see how people visualise my characters, sometimes differently from how I imagine them.

Although the web page is still a work in progress, and I haven't uploaded all art yet, you can take a peek here.

So far, the pictures of my villain Kirral delight me most. Whenever I look at them, I smile.

What do you think of the page, of the individual pictures, of the general idea?
