Oil!

Part of UNSQ’s Signature Classics Hardcover line, this cover features an illustration by the inimitable Malika Favre, and prints in 5/C with a soft-touch laminate.

I’d like to note that while I did design this series, the main thing I contributed to it was to hire Malika, who is a goddess, and basically sent 3 to 5 gorgeous, print-ready covers for each book that we then had to choose from—which was probably the hardest thing about making these books.

Part of UNSQ’s Signature Classics Hardcover line, this cover features an illustration by the inimitable Malika Favre, and prints in 5/C with a soft-touch laminate.

In the Dark I See You

This is the story of a blind female detective being stalked by an ex-rival. It’s full of twisty turns and I thought the folding cane—which she uses throughout the story—was a perfect device to help illustrate all the angles of the storyline.

Wrath

This super creepy cover was illustrated by my fave Eric Nyquist, who along with the authors, also created endsheets and a back cover illustration that contain a secret code that I will not divulge, you’ll just have to work it out on your own. 4/C with a spot uv just on the eye, and the R-A-T of the title.
