Livejournal user moniquemadigan asks:
Does the art director read your entire book to get inspiration for the cover? Or does the editorial team just tell the art director what they want to see?

Honestly, I don't know. But I think she pegged the cover pretty well. I can't wait to see all the covers for all the books in the series!

Yes, the art director did read my book. When she was done, she contacted me and we talked about ideas. I had a concept that I liked a lot and she agreed that it would be very compelling. She went to work on it, came up with a couple of versions, and we all (editor, publisher, art director, and me) decided on the final cover. And it's my original concept.
The nice thing about a small press is that you can have that kind of input. I'm thrilled with my cover and what makes it even MORE fun is that both my kids are on it!
