A Book Cover Is Born!

A Book Cover Is Born!

It's all come together. The stars have aligned and the axis is exact. Chasing the Butterfly has a face and now I can smile along with it. 

It's a funny thing to write a book--revise, edit, revise, edit...

And in the process, you talk with your characters in the shower and while you're on long walks with the dog. They converse with you at mealtime and over a glass of wine. Then, at day's end, they slip into your dreams, only to wake you in the morning.

All the while, the settings evolve--each sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch becomes defined and etched into memory. Staring at a sunset, gazing out the car window, sipping coffee in a cafe--suddenly you find yourself transported to another place. And, because of the butterfly, I am carried away to France. Sometimes Paris. Often times, Provence. 

So, a monumental point on this literary journey has been reached. The publisher, artist, and author have blended their visions on the same palette to create a beautiful representation of the story. 

The main character, Ella Moreau, may discover more than she ever imagined as she chases the butterfly. And where that journey may lead her...

Tell me what you think of the cover. I'd love to know your thoughts.
