Cover art for Glenraven -- painting by Clyde Caldwell

This is one of the few covers I've had that hasn't really worked for me, and that was more because of the publisher's choice of scene than anything. The book is about two female best friends who take on an alternate universe -- there's one scene in the whole book where the main character is out of commission. I would have loved to have seen a picture of Jay and Sophie taking on the Watchers in the wood, or escaping the Kin stronghold, or something strong and exciting. To me, this looks too much like a romance novel/vampire novel cover, and as such, doesn't reflect the contents of the book at all. (There are no vampires in Glenraven).

I had no input on this one at all.
