These are proposed covers for my new Work In Progress:
AFTER THE CATACLYSM
It is Book 3 of the Legends of the Winged Scarab
What do you think?
A or B
As an interesting Aside about this cover:
For CATACLYSM, I assigned an important part to a ghost ship that supposedly still plies the Atlantic Ocean. As devotees
of mysteriously vanished boats continue to search for the real Lyubov Orlova, believing that she still haunts the high seas, I imagined another life for this ill-fated vessel.
Built in 1976, she was
named after a Russian screen siren from the 1930s. In 2010, she ran aground off
Newfoundland. While being towed to be sold for scrap, the towline snapped. For
years, the vessel drifted unclaimed without a living soul aboard—except for the
rats.
Lovers of sea lore and
old ships continue to look for the 328-foot Lyubov Orlova and even
dedicated a website to her search: http://whereisorlova.wordpress.com/
Unless you can prove
otherwise, let’s believe that she is still afloat, her golden First Dynasty tablets stowed below, after they were saved from the Devil Winds KHAMSIN and SIROCCO.

For easy comparison, here are the first two volumes (already on sale):
A much trusted friend sent me his KISS; yes, it was the proverbial-albeit gentle-"Keep it simple, Stupid."
ReplyDeleteSo, I redesigned the front cover to the above, and would welcome your comments.
...What would happen, Inge, if you were to superimpose the ghost ship on the flames? I would be happy to 'fiddle' with it, if you send me the images. It is always a pleasure.

Ah, Diana,
ReplyDeletesince both Khamsin and Sirocco bear your cover artistry, it would be wonderful to have a "flaming match" with Cataclysm....
