Hi Ed, I've come late to the party and just finished Blackwing. Congrats on a great story. I will certainly be diving into Ravencry soon. I wanted to ask if the cover art was something you were involve with? Was it something you had a vision of or an idea of how you wanted it to look? It is stunning, I love all 3 cover images.

Hi Steven!
The cover art is pretty much entirely down to the publishers and their art departments. I had a very, very small amount of input but like 2% maximum. There are lots of factors to consider - how it fits onto a bookstore shelf, what it seems comparable to, how it looks in a thumbnail, and more besides.
