Cover Art for A Taste Of Copper

Out later this month with Love Lane Books.

One of my new favourites and my first historical cover. This one took some scrolling through the sites to find the perfect images based on the historical information I was given. But really pleased with the outcome and so was Elin :)

 

Cover Art - Fatal Designs by K.C. Wells

New cover work for K.C Wells' Fatal Designs.

USA: An eight year old boy stands by his father's grave. Daddy was his hero, the one who always made him laugh, who always had the answers. But now on TV people are saying his Daddy was a bad man. Carl jr doesn't understand. The man they describe couldn't be his Daddy. A drug dealer? That is just...wrong.

Seventeen years later, Carl jr is now Travis, living in the UK. His grandparents moved him there when his mother took her own life, unable to stand the aftermath of Carl Denninger's death in a gun battle with the police. Travis studied landscape design and at the age of twenty-five is one of the most sought-after and innovative garden designers in the country. He still keeps in touch with 'Uncle' James, one of his father's two partners in the software company that Carl, James and Matt started after MIT. James sends him gifts and even treats him to holidays.

Travis gets a call to meet up with Benjamin Driscoll, who wants Travis to design a series of gardens for his sprawling country estate. When Travis meets Ben, he likes what he sees. Ben is forty-four and very attractive, and if Travis reads him right, he's gay. Travis is definitely interested now...

But when Travis speaks with James about his new project and shares photos of the grounds, James makes a startling statement - Ben looks like his father's partner, Matt, who disappeared at the time of his death. Okay, so there are differences, but surgery could account for those. And when James starts using his IT skills to hack into police records, what he finds shocks Travis. The bullet that killed his father was not police issue. Someone else killed Carl - and all the evidence points to Matt / Ben.

Now Travis has a mission. He goes to live on the estate belonging to Ben, to see if he can find positive proof that this is the man who killed his father. James is behind him all the way. And if Ben turns out to be the killer, Travis will have his revenge. And what happens next changes everything.

Twists and turns, betrayal, a chase, secrets and lies.... This promises to be a roller coaster of a story.

Cover reveal, Pricing and Updates

A short update on what's been going on at Art By Meredith so far this month.

Cover Reveal

Earlier this week Kay Berrisford revealed the new cover for her upcoming release through Love Lane Books of her first Underground Elves Book, Catching Kit.



Pricing

From September 1st, I'm changing the way I price my covers. It has been a difficult decision and I have taken the time to really think about where I am and where I want to be within the market. After two and a half years, I feel a lot more confident in my abilities and in actually putting myself out there. So, this is me moving forward and really focusing on this as the career I want it to be. I want to thank all of my authors I have worked with up to this point, who have all been absolute stars since I started this journey to finding my way in the business of cover making. For more information please see the Pricing Information tab at the top of the blog.

Ready-made Covers

New for the latter half of 2014, I have started a page dedicated to ready-made covers. I see this as both another way to showcase my cover art, as well as an opportunity for making covers a little different to the usual styles of my authors. These will be offered for sale and come with the same file set as the custom covers (Cover, promo sizes, banner, and inside title page). For more information and to see the covers available so far, please take a look at the tab above. I hope to add more in the future, including m/f covers as I've mainly only worked with m/m authors, so I'm looking forward to the chance to dabble in other genres of story.

Much love

Cover Art - Max and the Prince (Bodyguards Inc 3) - RJ Scott

That moment when your author falls in love with a model but he looks like this...

Look at that guy hanging out on the beach all fine and youthful, all wet hair, sand stuck to his skin (and probably also in places we only dream of seeing), that beautifully hazy, bright, sunshine, and washed out, smooth skin. Yes, overall incredibly hot. The problem? Remember covers 1 and 2 in the Bodyguards Inc series? *points up* Not really the same kind of feel to him. But RJ is smitten and so beginneth the task of making him work. A few clicks (think more eleventy-million) and I give you the cover for Max and the Prince.

Cover Art - The Last Wolf - Sue Brown

You know when you just find two images so perfect they NEED to be together on a cover? Well, these two did. The wolf did go through a wee makeover as originally he was white. Note: No wolves were harmed in the making of this cover... Okay, maybe three were chopped up and made into a nice fur coat and pasted on :)

Cover art - Unexpected Trust (Silvia Violet)

Out July 17th.

Special Agent Hugh Cranford, better known as Sport, is conducting an off-the-record investigation. He’s after Danny O’Sullivan, a spy rumored to have assisted in the ambush of Sport’s former SEAL team. Danny claims he and Sport are on the same side, and the real traitor is the man Sport is working for. But Danny is a master manipulator. He’s also the most seductive man Sport has ever met. Sport can’t help being attracted to him, but that doesn’t mean he’s willing to trust him.

In his quest to bring down a few highly-placed traitors in the US government, Danny O’Sullivan has been keeping tabs on Sport. When Sport comes looking for him, Danny decides to bring Sport in on his secret mission and into his bed. Sport may not trust Danny, but he wants him. As the two men risk their lives to complete Danny’s mission, they discover neither is as strong as they like to pretend.
