Description

Is 'Story/Sequential' (which I consider to be more like comic strips) the right place to categorize a book cover that doesn't fit fantasy or science fiction or paranormal? I've put in requests for a cover art/design category, but no responses or new category, lol. So I guess this will have to do. 'Myth Rider', a YA novel by Cynthia Kennedy Henzel, is just one of a handful of cover projects all finishing up about the same time. I'm really tickled how this cover came out. I was going for a blend between early 1900 rodeo posters and modern day imagery to attract today's YA audience. Both author and publisher have approved, so today, I shall share the blurb and a review. :D Now just need to finish the interior layout then put together the cover wrap and we are off to the races/printers. Review for 'Myth Rider': "Creating a bridge between countries and cultures, race and gender, science and story, Myth Rider is a beautifully written novel that will rope you in, take you for a ride, and ultimately bring you back home again." -- Lindsay Eland, author of A Summer of Sundays, "[A] contemporary story with the feel of a classic" --Booklist Blurb: In 1910 a young girl races an ancient myth to return the Centaurs to their homeland in Georgia. As a shadow falls over the land and danger lurks ever closer, Tamara flees to a place that seems as strange to her as Dorothy dropped into Oz. With a new horse, new friends, and a daunting new challenge, she adapts to this land of opportunity. Now she must choose: race for the American dream or heed the cry of the Centaurs calling her home? 4RV Publishing (http://4rvpublishing.com) & Bookstore (http://www.4rvpublishingcatalog.com) Author Blog: http://www.cynthiakennedyhenzel.com Previous:
