This week’s theme: Cover Design… it matters… lots. (pt. 1)

I am writing Forgotten Elements, book three in the Elements urban fantasy series. Last week, my graphic designer and I began work on Forgotten’s cover. It can be challenging to maintain the themes of an existing series, while giving the new book its own look. Here are three VERY early drafts and starters for Forgotten’s cover… it’s a long process. Compare the draft cover to the series’ existing covers.
