Blog postWith Double Pursuit, the sequel to Double Identity coming out in October, I asked Jessica Bell Design to tweak the cover of the first book to match the fabulous new design for Double Pursuit. That will be on this site very soon!
Mel has a strong personality, so I thought she should come out of the shadow. However, she is not a figure in plain sight, hence the half-silhouette.

Blog postTravel in the mind is a very popular concept at present as the Covid-19 global pandemic has put a stop to the great flow of personal physical travel. But even before that it was an idea familiar to writers. Indeed, blogger and podcaster Joanna Penn invited me to talk about Roma Nova as a place that my imagination took me to and a place that readers seem to enjoy visiting.
