And I finally have the final cover for RecipeArium. First and fourth cover (the spine is a bonus). Art by Costi Gurgu (oui, by moi) and design by Scott Wilson, the art director of White Cat Publications. I take this opportunity to thank him now for an awesome job on the entire book, not just the cover.
The art was, as always, inspired by my Muse, the one and only beauty and kind soul, Vali Gurgu. She is in big part responsible for RecipeArium seeing the light of day in English. So, RecipeArium is dedicated to her.
I chose to place on the cover only the Kult Award and the Vladimir Colin Award, and to skip the mention of the Nemira Award, as their prize should have been a publishing contract. And they didn’t offered it in the end, so for me that award is not so much an award as a remembrance of what this novel represents.
Yes, yes, yes. I placed here a big size picture, but hey—it’s my first North American cover! So, I want to party!!!
