When it comes to a fantasy setting up, creating a world and keeping track of that world can be harrowing, and Kavin was able to polish the world in Maiden of Storms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640362f138d8ee1d17b1232f/d4dd3bf2-2ea9-460b-9eba-96cf9d750b6a/BANNER.jpg Raccoon County Press Blog - On Writing, Editing and Cover Art - Please note that I give all credit David Gardias for his work with Bastards of Liberty and Maiden of Storms covers. They are exceptional in so many ways from the lines, and tone the present and the emotion they bring. Both covers are original. I can't wait to see what he does for my 3rd book in the Conspiracy of Crows trilogy and any other books I put out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640362f138d8ee1d17b1232f/84c2c365-2096-4728-89e4-466f99aafb34/Best+Selling.jpg Raccoon County Press Blog - On Writing, Editing and Cover Art - David was open to communicating via email, Instagram, FaceTime, and different messaging services and was willing to make slight adjustments as the work went along. He always got back to me, as he was an amendment professional, knew exactly what the genre of my book called for, and stretched the ideas I provided, focusing on marketability and uniqueness. I wanted my cover to lean away from a traditional fantasy cover, and David was great about getting into the idea. https://www.raccooncountypress.com/raccoon-county-press-blog/cover-reveal monthly 0.5 2024-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640362f138d8ee1d17b1232f/d3d36ef1-5bf2-4b94-be10-bcf4445a4671/banner+part+2.png Raccoon County Press Blog - Cover Reveal - Bastards of Liberty Hardcover Dawid, who created the cover for Bastards of Liberty, has done great work for a large collection of authors, and I’m so lucky that he finds time to do my fantasy covers. The idea we came up with comes from a mixture of protest art and the fundamental ideas of what a fantasy cover represents and can expand upon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640362f138d8ee1d17b1232f/e44a8376-b40a-4cc6-99e7-714d3ac774ff/WIDE+ARTWORK+%2B+TITLE.jpg Raccoon County Press Blog - Cover Reveal - Original Paperback He is set to do the final book in the Conspiracy of Crows Trilogy when I finish it but first lets see what he’s done for book two… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640362f138d8ee1d17b1232f/4f03b13c-42ed-45d3-9340-812d812ae07a/BANNER.png Raccoon County Press Blog - Cover Reveal - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640362f138d8ee1d17b1232f/f56c772e-345a-46fb-ab89-4ba14089bad2/tease.png Raccoon County Press Blog - Cover Reveal - Maiden of Storms The Conspiracy of Crows Book Two https://www.raccooncountypress.com/raccoon-county-press-blog/prologue-to-bastards-of-liberty-hardback monthly 0.5 2024-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640362f138d8ee1d17b1232f/7dd7aea5-6946-43b4-8dec-dc0ee8f8f885/Bastards+of+Liberty+Crows Raccoon County Press Blog - Prologue to Bastards of Liberty (Hardback) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.raccooncountypress.com/raccoon-county-press-blog/blog-post-title-one-ydlpj-5p6ac monthly 0.5 2024-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640362f138d8ee1d17b1232f/c43b8639-59db-4695-964a-8207bd70ea11/LOGO+BLK+TEXT.jpg Raccoon County Press Blog - Warm Regards - Warm Regards, Welcome to the Raccoon County blog.

Honeybreak and Dawnworth The twin cities of Honeybreak and Dawnworth represent some of the holiest places in all of Vineland, and like The Gloomspire & the capital, Hudson City, each has been the source of battles, crusades & stories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640362f138d8ee1d17b1232f/bac32f96-8486-444e-912e-87a90add2f88/MAP+B%26W+New+20mb.jpg Raccoon County Press Blog - Eastern Vineland - The Blightbriar Mountains Deep in the Blightbriar Mountains, where the goblins, elves, orcs, and monsters play, the screams of farmers and hunters are seldom heard. Passes crisscross the mountains, guarded by fortresses on the kings' and queens' roads. The infamous Gloomspire, a legendary keep, resides deep within the Blightbriar Mountains. Many songs and stories have been told about the crusades to retake the mighty castle and the surrounding valleys it protects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640362f138d8ee1d17b1232f/5d689064-2ab6-41fe-8ad4-5722c0514109/MAP+B%26W+New+20mb.jpg Raccoon County Press Blog - Eastern Vineland - Redmarsh and Spitfall Redmarsh and Spitfall, located west of the Grave Reach River, has a warmer environment with a mixture of trees, brush, and rocky desert terrain.
