You may have noticed that I took down my pages for Designed & Ready Book Covers. Eventually I’ll promote them again. That’s not to say that I wouldn’t do a book cover for someone who knows about them — I’m just not advertising.  For now, I’m focusing on writing.

That said, I’m delighted that another book for which I created the cover is taking flight! His Ladyship by Stevie Turner is now available for pre-order for just $0.99.  Get it now, because the price will go up to $2.99 on October 24th when it is published.

Announcing “His Ladyship” by Stevie Turner

It was exciting to get Stevie’s email looking for a cover for a coming out story.  When she described the details, I felt I had just the thing.  Here’s how I described the symbolism of the book cover to her:

The colored swirling smoke represents the person being surrounded by uncertainty — both on the model’s part for making a decision, and the reactions of friends and family, including their lack of understanding.
The upper-face/eyes are covered, masking the protagonist’s identity until everything is settled. I’ve made this deliberate with the jagged paper edge.
The way the lipstick is being carefully applied shows the heartfelt importance of the decision.
That the rest of the face is in black and white, represents the absence of “life” in the pre-change existence.

Here’s the cCover

Here’s the blurb from Amazon

Norman Wicks is 57, overweight, and has diabetes. He is sick of his life. He has never left home, had a girlfriend, or held down any kind of job. The only friends he has are online, as he prefers to stay in the comfort zone of his bedroom. His devoted 92 year old mother Agnes waits on him hand and foot.

Norman has a secret he has kept hidden from the world for the majority of his life, but now he is desperate to bring it out into the open. He is terrified of how his family will react. However, for his own happiness and peace of mind, Norman must find a way to tell his mother and siblings exactly what they do not want to hear.

His Ladyship reached the finals and the Longlist of the 2021 Page Turner Awards.

        1. That would be lovely, Stevie. I’m just not promoting the service right now. Send me an email (or comment here) with a few details of your concept, and I’ll send you some inspiration images. You may or may not choose them later in your process. Congratulations on the progress with the new book! Cheers.

  17. It is a striking cover, and I congratulate Stevie on her new book and on her great taste! I hope your writing is going well, and I know all of you who know your work will keep you in mind if we need any covers, even if you’re not actively promoting them now. Stay safe and good luck with all your projects. Big hugs!
