I'm happy to be part of a cover reveal for Laura Eno's upcoming book Jewel of Shaylar. This is a terrific cover and proves once again the importance of a truly great cover.
Here is a bit about the book:
Archaeologist
David Alexander investigates the cave where his father disappeared and
hurtles into another world, one filled with magic and bizarre creatures.
The mad ravings in his father's journals of icemen and dragons may not
be fantasies after all.
Convinced
his father may still be alive, David begins a treacherous journey to
find him and discover a way home. Along the way, he encounters a few
unlikely friends. A Dreean warrior, a beautiful thief and a satyr join
him as he searches.
David's
arrival into this new world sets off an explosive chain reaction of
events. Faced with powerful adversaries and few clues, he may not get
the chance to rescue his father before disaster strikes, condemning both
of them to death. Or worse.
Christoph Waltz won his second supporting-actor Oscar a genteel bounty hunter in "Django Unchained." Tarantino also won his second Oscar, for original screenplay for "Django."
In a big surprise Taiwanese director Ang Lee won the best-director trophy, when many people expected it to go to Steven Spielberg for "Lincoln." Another neat surprise was when Michelle Obama appeared to be one of the presenters for the best-picture award.
Normally I try to see most of the films nominated for awards, but this year I was not able to. Looking forward to seeing them on DVD in the future. What about you? Did you see them? Agree with the awards?

Thank you so much for revealing my cover!
I didn't watch the oscars...since I didn't see any movies. :)
That cover looks great! Good luck, Laura Eno!
I did see Argo...in a real theater, a rare outing for me. I found the film fascinating because I could remember the real event as it happened (and also remember how little we were told as the situation unfolded. It's a good movie, so I was happy it won.
Laura's cover is very striking. It would really stand out in a bookstore.
You're very welcome, Laura. I really like your cover. Getting it right is so important. So far today, my graphic artist and I have gone through two versions of the one for my next book, but it is getting there.
Diane, I agree that the cover is an e-catcher.
Patricia, I have not been to the theatre in too long. We were supposed to go this past weekend, then I got sick again. UGH! Now most of the films I want to see are probably gone.
Thanks for stopping by, Dany.
Laura's book cover rocks!
So true, Alex. And your latest cover is great, too.

Great cover. Even greater - I've been seeing it all around the blog circuit.
