A Petition to Magic
Cover Designer: Hilary Keegan
Comments about cover design
The scene with Solon in his study, contemplating his decision, was the scene that stuck in my head when I first decided to write the story. I also knew from very early on that I wanted it to be an oil painting. I contacted Hilary Keegan, whom I knew from school, and she was wonderful. We spent hours discussing perspective, lighting, and the character himself. What we came up with, I believe, captures 100% the image I had in my mind at the outset, and I’m proud to say that the painting is hanging on the wall in my lounge today!
