Possible Cover to THE VASE

While I was at it, I decided to go ahead and design a possible cover to THE VASE. I was caught unprepared for a cover to KILLER OF KILLERS. But I like that Melange Books moves fast. Not only did they move fast to offer me a contract, but they moved even faster in asking me if I wanted to provide my own cover. (The same day they offered the contract.) Of course, the author doesn't have to. They have people to do that. But since they do give the author's wishes consideration, I decided to go ahead and see if I might come up with something, and I did. But since everything was moving so fast at this point, I sent a hurried sample to them, which contained a font that I would decide against a day later, and there was a typo, too.

So with the extra day, I improved the design with a better font and all the other things I already talked about.

As for THE VASE, I always liked the photo in my blog header, so I cropped it and put in the text, which I tried to make into an Arabic style. I think it works. As for the image itself, I can't even remember where I got it. So I suppose that whoever publishes it won't use it for that reason unto itself. And if they don't, at least I can show them what I have in mind for a cover. That's all.
