Wow! Just Plain Wow!

Concept Image for Carpathian Vampire by Lumi Laura

I’ve been working hard on the edits to Carpathian Vampire. Really a tough job, but it’s exciting to see that my editor didn’t chop it to pieces. Anyway, I’m going through the edits and making the changes.

I’ve been wondering what was happening to the cover illustration, and then all of a sudden, here it is. It’s obviously not finished, but this is what they consider a concept, and they wanted to see if I approved. Oh! Yes! Yes! Yes! I didn’t imagine anything this gorgeous. I had just talked to the art director about what I wanted. And I wanted something sophisticated, not some hot girly thing for a cover. The illustrator scanned the story, and talked to me a little. I mentioned a gazebo plays a part in it, and described it a little, and of course, he knows that it’s a vampire book and should have a little atmosphere. That was a while ago. 

 Today he said that he’d let me see it, if I’d not be too disappointed because it has its problems. So he sent me a jpg.  But this is beyond my wildest dreams. I love it. I just simply love it! So I had to share. And, yes, I can see that he still has some work to do, but I couldn’t ask for anything better. And it has my name on it. Imagine!
