The cover: Like Bees to Honey

by Caroline Smailes on February 26, 2010

Wordpress doesn’t like the file size, so I can’t get a sharper picture… but do click on the photo once or twice and the exquisite detail will be there, hopefully (or go HERE for a super huge detailed version and see the hand-stitching).

Yay Cisk :-) ))) The cover is fantastic! Took me a sec to understand why it was important for it to be stitched, then I remembered Maltese lace! A beautiful piece of work. Cant wait to get my copy!

Really is top stuff. Shame you couldn’t get Becky Adams to stitch a few thousand more of these little beauties. And, I agree with JJ Beattie - surely you deserve to keep the original for yourself, eh?

OH MY GOD! And OH MY GODDESS! That cover is absolutely gorgeous. It’s quirky, fun, beautiful and slightly haunting all at the same time. There is so much detail and beauty in it, you could lose quite a few minutes just taking it all in.

I can’t WAIT to see how this cover reflects the words you have written, but wow wow wow, what a gorgeous piece of art.

It’s beautiful honey, just like you. :)

OMG it is gorgeous. I love it. Will you frame a copy do you think? It truly is a divine work of art. It is the sort of book that will steal the limelight on any bookcase, leaving the other books shrinking into the shadows. You kinda feel sorry for other authors in bookshops but mostly happy that it is your book that is superior.

Do I ramble on? Uh yes! Sorry, I just really like the cover art (could you tell?)
