Today is the big cover reveal for DESCENT, and I couldn’t be happier with the responses! I worked with the most talented designer, Drew Rodgers, and this happens to be his first book cover design. He’s worked on several other medias, like CD covers and website/logo design, and I was excited that he took on my challenge to create a beautiful and compelling cover for Descent.
I also need to shout out a huge thank you to Chelsea Fine! She was brave enough to read my rough draft, and kind enough to cheer me on. Her words on the cover are just a portion of the encouragement I received from her along the way. So many bloggers and authors have been generous to post about Descent’s cover, but we still have over a month to wait for the release of the novel. Until then (June 9th), I’ll be posting fun excerpts and quotes from the novel.
This week, you’ll get to know Ollie Miller!
DESCENT Synopsis:
Seventeen year old Ollie Miller is ready to leave all of her hurt feelings behind, but moving on seems impossible while living next door to her ex-best friend, Mateo. When curious earthquakes begin to shake and rip open the foundation of her small town, the ground becomes as unsteady as her feelings for him. When they fall, they fall hard…
Ollie’s disastrous attempt to save Mateo’s brother from falling into a curious chasm results in their descent into a cavernous wonderland. Ollie, Mateo, Jesse, and Alexis search for a way back home, and encounter a mysterious tribe of natives. Gabriel, the next in line to lead his people, is granted permission to guide them to the surface. On their treacherous journey, an overzealous elder threatens all of their lives, because he can’t risk them exposing his people, or the power he wields. The group discovers ancient secrets, unexpected truths, and uncharted feelings. Ollie must find a way out or risk being stuck in the caves forever—or worse, dead.
So, what do you think of the cover… Leave your thoughts below in the comments.
