Sleepwalking into the Sea
"This is what it's like to be crazy..."
Gwen in "Seven Tears into the Sea" is a sleepwalking child when she encounters a selkie boy. But that's hard to believe. After all, she lives in a California beach town, not in a past when shapeshifters were more than Celtic mythology. Besides, the adults in her life fear the midnight meeting was something sinister.
By the time Gwen's a teenager, she's not sure what happened to her -- or him.
This is the only YA novel I've written, the only one missing a horse (thought there is a sea horse!) and it haunts me.
When I wrote
SEVEN TEARS, I was lucky enough to see two covers under consideration for my book.
I loved them both and I was always thankful that I didn't have to make the choice!
Take a look. Especially if you have read the book: Which cover would be your choice?
Happy Spring!
Please make this time of new beginnings COUNT!

Authors, Artists and Book Covers

Dear Readers,
SEVEN TEARS INTO THE SEA's cover has fascinated readers from the start, and after my Saturday post, I heard from more of you.
Although I don't know who designed the current cover (I gave away my last copy of SEVEN TEARS earlier this week!),I
do know the cover did not start with the photo art.
Gwen of SEVEN TEARS INTO THE SEA has a history of sleepwalking and both covers consdered showed Gwen walking at midnight to the place where the sand meets the sea.
Above, you'll see the original artwork considered for SEVEN TEARS' cover. It was painted by the talented LeUyen Pham.
If you'd like to see more of her work, check out the
artist's website Authors are rarely allowed to choose the covers for their books. In this case I'm glad, because I love them both.
Enjoy!
Terri
