I have several favorites this time around, with An Angel’s Blade at the very top of them. The larger version looks even better, which—to save space—I won’t post here.

Notwithstanding all the whales, witches, and werewolves that pop up in people’s stories, some of the hardest photos to find for my book cover work are actually the most mundane ones.

That’s 750 images for the month, at less than $4 each. Well, it’s a lot harder than I…
I like almost all of the covers I did in this batch, so I don’t really have any favorites, though I do like the Danny Lee series of covers I’ve done. Queen of the Burning Fields is the third in the series, and I’m curious to see where the author will take it. Maybe one day I’ll get around to reading the books. My TBR pile is overwhelming enough as it is; what’s one more trilogy? Original cover (front only)…
