I can't say enough how excited I am that my debut novel, KILLER OF KILLERS is being published. This August can't come soon enough for me. And talking about it gives me another opportunity to post this great cover. Kudos to Caroline at Melange Books for coming up with it. For a long time I wondered just what the cover to that book would look like.
For a time I thought it might be a fight scene featuring Trent Smith doing some fancy martial arts move on some bad guy. I even considered doing the artwork myself. I dabbled at some sketches to see if I could come up with something.
But then I decided that since Trent was a killer of killers, I might use the symbol of death in the cover, which is a skull or skeleton, instead of a figurative design. So I googled skulls and skeletons. I considered using an image of the Grim Reaper.
I found that first design, the one with the skull and silhouetted skyline, and thought it worked. But then I learned the pixel thing wasn't high def enough, and that's when Caroline took over. Using the same idea, she came up with a design that's way better. So here it is again. I love it.
