I’m excited to share the cover of Fiona Mountain’s new novel The Keeper of Songs, published 2nd July.
It was a pleasure to work with Fiona and cover designer Heike Schüssler AKA Judge By My Covers. I’ve long admired Heike’s beautiful covers and was thrilled to have the chance to work together.
I illustrated the iconic setting of Chatsworth House and the folk singer Molly Marrison, and Heike art directed, designed and illustrated the other elements of the cover.
The novel is ‘a modern day Downton Abbey’, ‘inspired by the work of folk singer Sam Lee’ and is based on real events - the murder of ‘The Runaway Lovers’ in the Peak District.
Thanks also to my lovely agents at The Artworks!
