Cover: “A Body at Book Club” by Elizabeth Spann Craig

by | Mar 31, 2014 | ,

Author Elizabeth Spann Craig recently contacted me about doing the cover for the next book in her Myrtle Clover Mystery series, book 6  “A Body at Book Club“. The catch was, I had to keep the same look and layout of the earlier covers. So I can’t take credit for the original layout.

Now available on ebook, and coming soon to print!

*****

BLURB: When octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover discovers Naomi Pelter’s dead body during a book club meeting, the other members seem shocked.  But Myrtle can read between the lines. Naomi had riled everyone up by flirting with other people’s husbands, arguing with neighbors, and generally making a nuisance of herself. Murdering troublemakers is the oldest trick in the book.

 

The book club members seem too sweet to be killers, but Myrtle knows better than to judge books by their covers. Myrtle’s investigation into the murder will take a more novel approach than her police chief son’s by-the-book methods. Can Myrtle and her widower sidekick uncover the killer…before he writes them off for good?

Then Roy finds a tantalizing clue that leads him down the coast of what used to be the state of Oregon. He’s stunned at what he discovers. Everything in the Territory is a lie and everything around him is a front. But to uncover the dark secret behind this front, Roy must venture deeper into the wilderness where marauders and the deadly Passim Virus wait to kill.

It’s there, outside the Territory, where he discovers the truth about his father’s murder and where he meets his unexpected destiny — To free humanity from the bondage of a powerful enemy.

*****

BLURB: On the surface, Sunshine Valley appears to be an idyllic small town in Arizona’s picturesque Sonoran desert. When Adam and Eve Iverson, a retired married couple, move to this seemingly peaceful community, they have every intention of pursuing their individual passions.  Then, one day, their plans are disrupted when they discover the body of Olive Howell, the most disliked and feared woman in the valley, floating in the community hot tub.  

 
In the days that follow, the main topic of conversation in Sunshine Valley revolves around the death of Olive Howell. At first, her death is ruled accidental, but this pronouncement doesn’t sit well with the Iversons. Driven by her intuition and keen perceptiveness, Eve begins to sort through a series of clues that indicate murder, and soon discovers that several people had strong motives and opportunities to kill Olive. Based on his own reasoning, Adam begins a separate investigation. Following their individual instincts and hunches, and by cleverly sorting through all the facts, Adam and Eve work together to ferret out who among the seemingly harmless residents of Sunshine Valley could have created the HOT TUB OF DEATH.

Surprise in the Mailbox

by | Mar 17, 2014 | ,

I went to get the mail Friday afternoon and there was a box inside the mailbox. I had a book coming so I figured it was that. As I’m walking up the driveway, excited to see the book (cover I designed), I notice it felt weird the way it moved inside the box. Curious, I pause in the middle of the driveway next to my car. I set the other mail down on the trunk and start opening the box.

I peek inside and see packing paper. Completely perplexed (cause really, who “packs” a book?) I tip the box and two heavy, identically wrapped things push the paper out of the way and fall out into my hands. Box, paper, mail..all forgotten, I quickly unwrap thing one.

The sun glints off the shiny glass as my eyes try to focus on what it said. A slew of inappropriate, yet excited words [loudly] spew out of my mouth as I quickly grab the second and unwrap it. I’m pretty sure the neighbors were trying to see over the hedges as to what caused the outburst, but I was already racing into the house to grab my phone to take a picture.

What was in the box you ask? I’ll show you! (yes that’s the pic I ran inside to take. I know, I’m a photographer too, I could’ve set up a nicer shot, used an actual camera, played with some lighting…etc, but I’m a lazy photographer!)

To be completely honest, I have been so busy lately I had completely forgotten the E.P.I.C. Award ceremony was this weekend. To say it was a shock is an understatement. Unfortunately I hadn’t registered for EPICon this year, so I guess this is their way of still keeping the surprise in finding out you won. I had always wondered how they notified the winners that weren’t there, now I know! It’s probably for the best anyways, considering my reaction when I opened the box. Better to scream expletives in the privacy of your driveway where only the neighbors think you’re crazy, than in a room full of your peers…right?

So that’s my exciting news! I am officially an “Award Winning” Cover Artist lol Oh! and if you are curious about the covers that won me these beauties,  here they are:
