It's only been less than a month since I signed a contract with XOXO Publishing and their artist sent me a book cover to review. Here it is -
It really blows me away as it covers ALL the main points of the novel. Brother Coyote howling at Mother Moon signals it is night in the desert when all the creatures big and small come forth to hunt. The Saguaro cacti show it's in the Sonora Desert and there's my main character, savoring the symphony of the desert night.
I don't wish to speak badly of my other publisher for this novel but, after almost a year and a half, they hadn't even gotten to the cover. I'm still waiting to hear from my editor. But, if he/she is as conscientious as this artist, I'm really looking forward to working with him/her.
