30 Covers, 30 Days 2016: Day Twenty-Three

Every November, during National Novel Writing Month, thirty professional designers volunteer to create book cover art inspired by novels being written by aspiring authors from around the globe. Why? To encourage new, diverse voices, and help build a more creative world.  

30 Covers, 30 Days is presented in partnership with designer and author Debbie Millman.

Framed

An LGBTQ+ fiction novel being written this November by participant TA Bellmond in Australia. 

Music photographer Nathan Evans has been handed a career-defining assignment: A Day in the Life of Joshua Downey, international rock star. It would be a dream gig, if not for Joshua’s hostility in the wake of the paparazzi outing his sexuality, and unexpected attraction between the two. 

While Nathan battles to maintain his strict policy of work/play separation, his body is ready to succumb to Joshua’s charms. Neither count on Nathan being offered the chance to join Joshua’s tour as official photographer. Cue an intense relationship which constantly wants to slide into something entirely physical. Add in a jealous suitor, blackmail, and broken trust, and you have Framed.
