Cover Reveal!

 Writers are occasionally apprehensive about cover art, especially when the cover tries to depict a scene from the book, and it gets all the details wrong wrong wrong.

I am over the moon for this official cover of Esprit de Corpse by Mike McPhail (McP Digital Graphics).

We decided the cover wouldn't be a specific scene from the story, but a scene that evokes the whole of the novel. Mike went so far as to build models for the Catacombs wall and the Muessler lamp. 

The details floor me. Jacqueline is holding a kilij, at a vital moment in the climax. She's got her modified spectacles (gogglers, she calls them, because they make her look goggle-eyed -- goggles hadn't been invented yet!) Her face is exactly what I pictured for her: nothing overly feminine, with strength and defiance in her whole mien. Angélique in her wolf form is perfectly colored, and what a gorgeous face!

I could not have asked for a more beautiful cover. I hope it makes you want to read the story! We're on pre-order from Amazon or eSpec Books!
