Cover Art Lead-In For Kim Falconer's New Series – Ascension (Working Title)
"Even though my release date for the new, Young Adult Fantasy series, Ascension (working title), is 12 months off, my publisher at Entangled Teen has sent me the ‘cover art’ form.
Meanwhile, I am immersed in cover art, and loving it. There are so many beautiful books out there!"
And that's our Supernatural Underground round-up for now, but we'll be back with moar as it comes to hand!
It’s extensive, asking about the mood, themes and sub-sub-sub genres the book might be linked to, all the way to character studies and specific references. There’s a section to put links to cover art mood boards, like the one I’ve been making on Pinterest -
.
And, I’m asked to include an extensive list of covers I like and why, what elements grab me. What don’t.
Also, they ask what I don’t want on the cover. I said, “No unicorns or pole dancers.”
We should be safe, given there are neither unicorns or pole dancers in the story, but believe it or not, this happened to Karen Miller, an author friend of mine. She sold rights to her fantasy series (I think it was The Riven Kingdom) to Russia and, you guessed it, they put both a unicorn AND a pole dancer on the cover. No, the story wasn’t remotely about either...
Which leads to the purpose of the cover – to intrigue the shopper to pick up the book, read the blurb and buy it!

Great news, Kim. Here at Supernatural Underground HQ we're looking forward to the Ascension series – and we're sure the cover will rock!

Stina Leicht's Blackthorne – a Flintlock Fantasy – was published on 8 August and already has a fab review from reviewer Kelly Anderson on B&N's SciFi & Fantasy Blog:
"...nail-biting thrills of the hunt—when the prey is human lives, and the stakes are extinction... I definitely want to find out what happens next, and you will too."
.
It sounds like a great read so if you want to to curl up with some Flintlock Fantasy, Stina's series could be just what you're looking for – although the first in the series is Cold Iron.

That's exciting news with Heir of Night on special, and Stina's Blackthorne out.
I've just finished the cover art form. It's like clicking SEND on my taxes, that feeling of relief.
Only a lot more fun!
