Not all of my subscribers here at helluo librorum follow me at my other blog, and I’m so excited, I wanted to share this here too.
The cover art for my debut novel Miserere: An Autumn Tale has been completed. The artist is Michael C. Hayes, and you must go to his website to see his other works.
I am beyond words. He captured the essence of my novel and characters and brought them to life. I am so pleased to show you Catarina, Lucian, and Rachael, just as I imagined them.
Coming July 2011 from Night Shade Books, Miserere: An Autumn Tale:

About Teresa Frohock
Please visit my web site at: www.teresafrohock.com
Raised in a small town, Teresa Frohock learned to escape to other worlds through the fiction collection of her local library. Although Teresa has been reading fantasy and science fiction since she was twelve, her fascination with the grotesque extends back into childhood. Whenever she went to a carnival, she was the first one at the tent that housed the freak-show. She wanted to see the two-headed (chicken, snake, fetus, fill-in-the-blank) and was always disappointed when it wasn't alive--it seemed like such a rip-off.
Her author photo is very formal. What you can't see in that picture is that she is wearing jeans and boots. She always wears boots except when it's 90 degrees outside, then she wears sandals and wishes she was wearing boots. Next time she has her picture taken, it will be in front of the old pick-up truck so you can get a better read on her personality. She might even be holding a gun.
During her youth, Teresa's life was very, VERY exciting. She did a lot of exciting things, met a lot of electrifying people, engaged in a lot of stimulating activities, and saw things that would send most sane people howling into the woods.
Teresa was raised in North Carolina, lived in Virginia and South Carolina before returning to the Piedmont, where she currently resides with her husband and daughter. Teresa has long been accused of telling stories, which is a southern colloquialism for lying.
The cover is fantastic! Cover art is so very important to a novel, I’m so glad for you that this is so well done. You’re right, their expressions are perfect!
Hee, you should know, Liz.
Wow! I wholeheartedly agree with Liz. Cover art is like a couple on a blind date; you’ve got to put on your best digs in order to impress. This is evocative and should attract your following.
So far, all the steps you’ve taken, from being taken in by Weronika to the sale of the book, etc. are careful and meticulous.
Continued success.
H.B.
Thanks, H.B.! It is like a blind date, but Michael just wowed me (and everybody else). I’m looking forward to seeing more of his art grace fantasy novels.
I had to come take another look – it never is less exciting and vivid!
It’s just amazing. I hope it brings Michael lots of work.
Ssh! I’m trying to swoon over Lucian, do you mind! *Grins*
It’s Rachael that I love. She’s looking at him like she can’t decide whether . . . well, that would be telling, now wouldn’t it?
