A Year in Projects: SHADOWDANCE

Kristen Callihan’s Darkest London Series is one of my favorites to work on. It’s a sexy, paranormal, steam punk romance. The fourth book in the series, Shadowdance, was really a delight from start to finish. The outfits were custom designed with a costumer. The models were perfect for the characters. The photo illustrator did an amazing job pulling the whole thing together. I feel giddy every time I look at it.

I was the art director and designer. Gene Mollica was the photo-illustrator. The costume was created by Time Travel Outfitters. Ron Zinn created the hand drawn lettering for the title.

Here is the rest of Callihan’s Darkest London series that I art directed and designed.

A Year in Projects: LAURA LONDON

For the rest of Laura London’s classic, historical, backlist titles the editors and I decided to take the look in a completely different direction. I used photographs instead of illustrations and created a new layout. 

Here are the new eBook covers for A Heart Too Proud, The Bad Baron's Daughter, Gypsy Heiress, Love's a Stage and Moonlight Mist.

A Year in Projects: THE WINDFLOWER

Third on the list is some romance! Grand Central Publishing's Forever imprint, is re-releasing several of Laura London’s classic romance novels in eBook format. Her most famous novel however, The Windflower, is being released in both print and eBook formats. We decided to recreate the original 1980’s cover for today’s audience. The result is gorgeous! 

 I was the art director on the project. Alan Ayers created the beautiful illustration. Iskra created the custom lettering.
