It’s always a little nerve-wracking to put my work out there for the world to see, but it’s exciting and gratifying at the same time. “A Talent for Death” is a young adult contemporary fantasy, and the amazingly talented Shalis …
I’m very excited to reveal the cover of my forthcoming young adult fantasy, A Talent for Death! Shalis Stevens did an incredible job drawing a cover to match the description of a Tarot card that figures into the story – the Knight of Swords, to be exact.
