A Word on the Covers: My designers manipulate stock photos to create vibrant colors. Few images are available that present 1921 accurately. Rather than be limited in cover choices, we avoided that problem and chose to emphasize Isabella’s art. Five similar watercolor images became the covers for the short stories, each one symbolically depicting the story’s conflict or theme or setting. Finding those similar images became the next design challenge.
The cover for the collection Sailing with Mystery echoes the covers for the original three-book series Into Death. The ocean and the railing of the ship depict her location while the tumultuous sky echoes the mysteries she encounters while aboard the passenger ship.
Enjoy!
