GUARDIANS OF DAWN: ZHARA Cover Reveal
As promised, I’m giving y’all a little sneak peak at the cover for Zhara, ahead of a more official social media reveal next week. Let’s just say I’ve been itching to share this for a while and I’m jumping the gun a teensy bit, but thankfully my publisher said I can share the cover with my newsletter subscribers ahead of time.
Without further ado, I present...
...are you ready?
Isn’t she beautiful? ã… ã…
Because Zhara is inspired by Sailor Moon and Magic Knights Rayearth, I requested that the cover be reminiscent of 90s magical shoujo manga covers and I think the artist and art department more than delivered.
On Wednesday I’ll be sending out a post about the process of coming up with this cover, including some sketches I drew myself with characters from the books. My ì ˆì¹œ will be getting that post a few days early, plus a few extra secrets.
Covers are always so exciting because it’s that first concrete step in seeing a book you wrote turn into an actual, tangible, physical thing. I can’t wait to share more about Zhara in the coming months with y’all!
사랑해,
