I have been asked repeatedly if I took the amazing photo that appears on the cover of Shades of Magic. I wish I could say yes, because that would mean I had been to that lovely place. But, alas, the answer is no, that is a stock photo provided to me.
There are two little surprises on the cover, however, for those looking for them. Have you noticed the black cat next to the tree? To those who have read the book, it won’t be surprising to find out that feline’s name is clover. The inspiration for clover comes from my very own majestic black cat, Isis.
Not to be outdone, Hestia’s familiar is not the only one who left his mark on the cover of the book. Have you noticed the bird prints that appear in the lower left area of the leaves. This one is tough to spot, but Midnight has made an impression, nonetheless.
