Description
I am really enjoying working with author, Rachel Neumeier. This is our second project together, and we're already planning one other, Pure Magic. Rachel is a hybrid-author, publishing books through both traditional houses and indie formats; and she's not the only author I work with following this trend.
For the cover of Black Dog Short Stories, which is a soon-to-be available companion publication to her Black Dog novel, published through Strange Chemistry, we chose a hypothetical scene from one of the four short stories contained within.
Blurb:
Natividad is delighted when the Master of Dimilioc gives her permission to go Christmas shopping in a real town, since she definitely needs to find gifts for her brothers. But did Grayson have to assign Keziah to go with her?
Etienne Lumondiere has annoyed Miguel once too often, throwing his weight around and belittling ordinary humans. But Miguel's going to fix that. He just needs to work out a few more details of his clever plan.
It's tough for a black dog raised outside Dimilioc to adjust to being a team player. But Thaddeus is determined to impress Grayson . . . until he is unexpectedly confronted by a black dog kid who reminds him a little too much of himself.
The Dimilioc executioner is the mainstay of the Master's authority, as Ezekiel knows better than anyone. He has never questioned his role in Dimilioc . . . until now.
"Christmas Shopping," "Library Work," and "A Learning Experience" all take place between Black Dog and Pure Magic. "The Master of Dimilioc" is a prequel story that takes place several years before the events of Black Dog.

Wonderful scene and excellent cover!
Don't get the synopsis - but like the illustration.
A very realistic scene : the realism comes with the poses and expressions, their clothes, and all these different books ! In fact, there are a lot of same books, but that doesn't appear at the first glance !! Excellent cover and nice work !!
