On a website far, far, away, a wonderful example of good taste and brilliance emerged from the mind of a person of quality. On a quest for well-designed, individual book covers, Court Van Haaren looked at over 2,500 and decided 9 were worthy of exposing to the wider public. To my joy, the cover of Joinings, the first book in my fantasy series, A Seared Sky, was featured in that select few. So, my thanks to Dan Grubb, owner of Fantastic Books Publishing, who engaged professional cover designer, Heather Murphy, to create that cover. That she used my hand-drawn map as a background was even more gratifying.
