Book Launch, to be more exact. My latest book will be toasted October 7 with a grand First Friday Event in the Red Awning Gallery at the HUB Station. (Hudson Uptown Building in Hudson, North Carolina) I can't wait for everyone to read this book. It's a biography, actually a dual-biography about a couple who impacted not only my community, but the entire state of North Carolina and beyond. More about that in a later post, but now I want to reveal part of the cover, the background.
Looks a little empty without the title of the book, but I did see possibilities when I was envisioning a cover. This is a painting titled "Linn Cove" by Matthew Strawn, who just happens to be one of the children of the subjects of my book, Marjorie and Bill Strawn. Like me, he's a member of the Western North Carolina Society of Artisans. We display and sell our products in the Red Awning Gallery. I saw this picture hanging in the hall and knew it was exactly what I needed for the cover background.
Ta-Da....
Title of the book - The Physician and the Forester - and there you have the forest, drawn from an actual spot not all that far as the crow flies from my house. The proportion of empty space to forest fit my requirement for inserting title, subtitle, photograph and backflap items. Perfect.
Matt agreed and here it is!
Coming soon....Cover reveal.
Catch of the day,
Gretchen
