Hi Mary and thanks so much for this! I think it really is quite random (and quite competitive too). I’ve had a couple of approaches in the past, and have been on a few ‘book cover shortlists’ but this is the first time I’ve ever made it ‘all the way’. I’d certainly be happy to follow in the footsteps of Wyeth and Rockwell!

Hi Al, many thanks for this, though I know it’s still not quite up there with your ‘publishing an entire book’ achievement!

Hi Jean and thanks so much for this. I’m not sure that I ever recall this ever being on a list of any sort as such, but it’s great to still be able to put a tick against it!

Now that you have a toe in the water, I hope a few more publishers may put some of your work on their covers. Who knows, at some point they may start to commission covers and offer you more than a pittance for your work. Plenty of artists do book covers. Wyeth and Rockwell.

Wishing you all the best for the Holidays! Merry Christmas my friend.
