Fantasy need not be epic! My first fantasy is out now. The Tyrant of Spite is a light-hearted novella with coming of age and romance themes. Nothing epic or grim, I went for a very light touch with a little magic.
I designed the cover using a licensed image from Tithi Luadthong (@grandfailure on iStock) and Photoshop. This wonderful illustration inspired the story.
"Mystery interwined in a pioneering supernatural world. It can easily make a fantastic bestseller."

"As I reach the edge of the opening, my blood pressure is rising. Never have I seen something like this before."
Marquise Gertain, THE HIDDEN FACE by M. I. Verras
If you look carefully, you will see that the bottom half is an open book, with an illustration on the left and text on the right. The top half are two different pieces. Using various manipulations, I blended common elements, that give it a bit more unity.
The book is an interesting curiosity, that somehow ended up in my collection from previous generations. It is a Russian 1928 edition of Dominion by J F Rutherford ~ early Jehovah Witness proselytizing.
Beautifully bound with an #EmbossedCover, and colour #BookPlate#Illustrations. I’ve been tempted to use it for altered book art, but for now, just scans for collage work.

IT'S COVER REVEAL TIME!
I've created new covers for my contemporary romances. The books are from years back, but I felt they needed freshening up, found a series of fun photos and had fun with them. I really love the colours. You can read more about the books on my webpage http://www.susannashore.com

Bad book covers do such a disservice. For a pastime that exists mainly in the mind, an off-putting cover has the power to push away even the most literary of lovers. As much as I love books, when I want to buy a book, if the cover is terrible, I won’t. Books are works of art-starting with cover & ending with the story, & I want the whole, beautiful picture. 📚 #books#read#bookcover#fediverse@bookstodon
