Emerald House Rising cover proposal revised
Im happy to say that the editor listened to my concerns about the cover and took them to her designer, and I'm so pleased with the revision:
Okay, this building doesn't show the city of Piyanthia on the scale that I envisioned. In my headcanon, what the cover is showing is maybe a guard tower or outpost along the Koh River at the entrance to the harbor that Piyanthia is built around.
I can live with it. In fact, I'm quite happy with it. When the editor told me that she was sending it back for a redraft, I didn't think the designer would do such a good job of incorporating my comments and addressing my concerns. And most importantly, it isn't stock art, but something that was designed specifically for this book. Hurrah!
