Remember the cover I illustrated for ‘Love Fortunes and Other Disasters’? Well, I’m excited to share the cover illustration I created for the sequel! It’s called ‘Love Charms and Other Catastrophes’, written by the fabulous Kimberly Karalius.
The book is available to buy now in the US. It is published by Swoon Reads, an imprint of Macmillan Publishing focusing on young adult romantic fiction.
Here is a brief description of the story:
“This sequel to Love Fortunes and Other Disasters takes us back to Grimbaud, the town of Love, which is still reeling from the loss of Zita, and the certainty of her love fortunes and love charms.
As a key part of the rebellion that overthrew Zita, Hijiri knows that Grimbaud will be better off without Zita’s abuse of Love’s powers, but other charm makers are rushing in to fill the gap Zita’s defeat left behind. When Hijiri learns that the town plans to hold a contest to crown the best love charm maker, she knows that she (and the rest of the rebellion) must win the contest to keep someone else from taking over the town.
And, as if that wasn’t enough to keep her busy, Love has another surprise for her…. a gift-wrapped boyfriend, specially crafted just for her.”
It’s always wonderful to see my illustrations in context - I’m looking forward to getting my hands on a copy of ‘Love Charms and Other Catastrophes’. In the meantime, these photos are fantastic!
