Thanks so much, Theresa. Here’s hoping the words inside are alright (he says, crossing his fingers).

The blood tinged clouds are perfect and the jagged building, plus the really dark foreboding clouds at the top – was that a group effort or one individual who designed the cover.

I love your analysis of the cover, Gabe! It was designed by Astred Hicks from Design Cherry, who Hachette engaged. Thanks so much for your long-standing interest – I really do appreciate it.
