Near the end of National Novel Writing Month, GalleyCat announced a student designer was taking requests for book covers. That designer was Fena Lee, and I jumped at the opportunity to see what she would design for The Book of Coroc. I didn’t give her much to go with other than the somewhat vague description I had hastily written earlier in the month for my “Novel Info” section.
Xan is just a girl in the big city, trying to make ends meet. But all that changes when a mysterious book comes into her possession, along with a green-eyed stranger of few words and a price on her head from another world. Xan must learn how to harness the powers of the book if she is to save her world and many others from the Silver Queen and her army of tech clones.
The result:
After a month filled with frenzied writing, a rising urge to delete everything, and buckets of coffee, it is pretty amazing to see a visual interpretation of my concept. Kudos to Fena on the cover and the idea to use NaNoWriMo to hone her skills and build her portfolio. Be sure to check out all of her covers and submit your own novel if you participated.
