I thought I’d share a really fun book cover series that I worked on for Harlequin Books; Molly MacRae’s The Highland Bookshop Mystery Series.
The series is set in a bookshop in the idyllic (but rather dangerous!) Scottish town of Inversgail. I’ve loved reading these cosy crime novels and trying to bring something new to the composition for each cover. A big thanks to Art Director Tara Scarcello and to my US agents Mendola Artists.
I’m excited to share the cover I created for the reissue of The Amazing Mr Blunden by Antonia Barber for Little, Brown UK. The book is being republished to coincide with the new Sky TV adaptation of the classic tale, to be written and directed by the wonderful Mark Gatiss this Christmas.
Working with the fantastic Charlotte Stroomer, middleweight designer at Little, Brown, I had a great time getting stuck into illustrating the gothic house setting and juxtaposing the Victorian children with the modern day kids.

Excited to share a new book cover illustration for T.A Willberg’s historical thriller Marion Lane and the Midnight Murder.
Commissioned by Harlequin with art direction and design by the wonderful Kathleen Oudit.
Published by Park Row Books. Thanks to my agents at Mendola Art!
