Cover Reveal for Rita Monette’s The Legend of Ghost Dog Island

I love helping out my fellow authors. Whether it’s an interview, or a share or tweet on the social media networks, I get a blast from sharing their good news. I interviewed YA author Rita Monette back in July for my ‘Authors in the Limelight’ segment. Please click here to read our interview. I had asked Rita if I could also do a cover reveal when the artwork was completed for her book. Guess what? Her book cover is ready! The following is Rita’s personal announcement about her new cover for her upcoming book with Musa Publishing’s YA imprint Euterpe, and boy, she’s seems pretty excited about it! Take it away, Rita…

It's finally here! The cover art for The Legend of Ghost Dog Island.

The talented Kelly Shorten, from Musa Publishing, has done it again. She captured the essence of Ghost Dog Island perfectly. And here it is!!! What do you think? I'd love to hear your comments...

 

About Ghost Dog Island

Moving is nothing new for ten-year-old Nikki Landry. Her fisherman father relocates their raggedy old houseboat several times a year in search of better crab fishing spots. However, their latest move has brought her to a mysterious bayou, where she feels like something is watching her from a nearby island. But when Papa tells her about a local legend that something sinister might be living nearby and stealing the souls of dogs, she fears for her beloved beagle’s life. Join Nikki as she seeks to discover the truth behind the legend…before it’s too late.

Book is due out November 16! Will post links on my blog http://ritamonette.blogspot.com/ when available.

    Fantastic cover! It makes me want to buy the book and dive right into it. Kelly is nothing short of a miracle worker. We are so lucky to have her designing (and asking for our suggestions--something that just doesn't happen in NY with the "big" publishers)our book covers and any and all promo material. This one should sell plenty of books!

      Thanks Jan. Just got back from a trip down to Mobile, Alabama to see my new great grandbaby...so getting to this post late. She was beautiful by the way. Yes, Kelly is a miracle worker. I worried about finding a suitable picture to send her to give her an idea what I wanted. But she came up with something beyond my imagination. Couldn't be happier!

    Wow, that cover is fantastic! And the blurb, chilling. I'd be out to save my dog, too!
