Work Wednesday: We Have a Cover

I would LOVE to reveal the cover for the third book in the TJ Wilde Trilogy, FULL SAIL. We spent most of last week working on it. But while we’ve finalized almost everything, there are still some small tweaks.

As a tease, here is the photo I took that we are using for the cover:

That’s the Venice Fishing Pier, and it plays a big role in the book. And here is what LFern did with that photo to begin the cover work:

I thought the cover she did for Underway was stunning, this one is equally stunning and can’t wait for the reveal. She is so very talented, and I’m lucky to have her doing my covers. Stay tuned…

Work Wednesday:Process

 

I don’t have a set way to approach my books. Some chapters run like movies in my head, and I write them down. Others, I have to outline before I can even begin.

I often worry about my process. Because I know authors who map out their entire book with outlines, note cards pinned to bulletin boards, or notebooks filled with clippings and handwritten chapters. My experience is a bit more haphazard.
