MOTHER AMERICA - THE COVER

The cover for my short story collection Mother America. Out June 4th. Woo! Big thanks to Inka for another fantabulous design job.



Happy World Book Day :) In honour of the day the Irish Times ran a feature on Saturday about neglected books. I recommended Martin Malone's historical novel The Only Glow of the Day in the article.

    Nicely put, Tania. I like that it is creepy and (possible, hopefully) will appeal to women and men.

    Kind of creepy but in a very good way - I mean, the doll actually has a sweet face! Makes me sad more than creeps me out. The colours are just beautiful - it's very attractive to look at (can you tell I'm just thinking too much to process!?) Cannot wait to read, and so glad you got the image you were rooting for.

    Beautiful darkness and sweetness in this cover, Nuala. I love it! And the font is stunning. Really striking and will jump off those shelves.
