Welcome to My Book! Boundless Has a Cover Now

A book cover starts the conversation you want to have with your reader. It’s a moment of recognition and surprise. Here is my path to a cover becoming the cover.

I knew it had to have a horizon. 

That’s about all I could envision for the cover of Boundless, my empty-nest memoir that publishes this month (Atmosphere Press).

I call Boundless a road trip to rejuvenation. And because all good road trips like to trouble you with “tiny but frightening requests,”* it is not a straight path. 

This book asks you: “When you have become no one, how do you become someone again?”

After I signed my book deal, the path to my cover design was part joy ride, part driving off the map. Not a surprise, really, because at some point in Boundless, I suggest it’s possible that the road to nowhere goes everywhere.

A few design ideas traveled to nowhere. I’m hoping you think this one can take you everywhere.
