WVXU Interview
My interview on Cincinnati radio is at 7pm EST tonight on 91.7 WVXU If you go
to http://wvxu.org/ you can listen to it on their site live in MP3 or
on Itunes. They said it have a link to it on their site tomorrow so I
will be providing that once I have it. I mentioned all my books at that
time and hinted at Atlantis Under Attack as that wasn't finished yet. I
also mentioned that Brash Books wanted to know when I was done with my
crime novel and that they may be interested in publishing it in the
future. (Free plug for them) Not sure if it will air uncut or if it will
be edited for time but I hope you enjoy listening to it.

Guest Post: Evolution of a Cover by Elizabeth Delana Rosa
About the Book:
COMING JUNE 13, 2014
Title: Queen of the Loch
Series: Children of the Loch Saga
Author: Elizabeth Delana Rosa
Published: Expected publishing June 13th, 2014
Word Count: Approximately 42,000
Genre: YA Paranormal
Synopsis:
Nineteen year old, Jaelyn Adena McDonnell, known as J.J. to all, just found out she is not who she thought she was. On her twentieth birthday, a handsome man shows up on her porch with a marriage edict and news that the grandfather she has never met, has died. Her world is about to change forever. J.J. must make the perilous journey to the Loch and take her place on its throne. With no idea, what is expected of her and dark forces closing in at every turn, will J.J. be able to accept her destiny or will she be stopped her before she can? Come join this first person account of a young woman’s journey to finding herself and those she meets along the way. Previously released as a free novella named Child of the Loch, this is a completely new novel based on the same premise with new characters, renamed characters and completely revamped story-line. The novella has stayed in the top 20 of Christian Fantasy and Science fiction Free Kindle since its publishing date in November of 2013. The expected publishing date is June 13, 2014. While it maintains a great level of clean reading and it references a faith, it is in no way preachy.
Cover Art from Start to Finish…
When doing a cover, you first must identify the character. My character of choice was Jaelyn, I spent time searching through a variety of pictures from www.canstockphoto.com and found the perfect one, but she needed work.
I trolled the internet’s vast collection flames, scars and plugged them into Photoshop. It’s important that all the elements come together.

Finally, I touched up the Color and added the lighting and Font. I won’t go into all I did but I will share the evolution of the cover with you.
These covers are for the Novella. I released it twice but re-covered it 3 times.
