Cover Reveal & Promo Pricing: Midnight Schemers & Daydream Believers

by | Mar 22, 2025 | Midnight Schemers, My Publishing Journey, Superior Shores Press | 8 comments

I’ll admit it. as hard as I tried, I could not dream up a cover concept for Midnight Schemers & Daydream Believers. Thankfully, my fabulous cover art designer, Hunter Martin, had no such difficulty.

“What about a crow?” he said. “After all, a group of crows is called a murder. That fits with a collection of mystery stories.”

A crow, I thought. Yes, that could work. Maybe. “We’ll need a shiny thing,” I said. “Crows love shiny things.”

“What about a key?” Hunter asked. “A key can represent unlocking a dream.”

I gave him the go-ahead. He went ahead. And the end result is better than I could have ever imagined. I hope you agree.

 

And now, here’s a bit about it: Desire or desperation, revenge or retribution—how far would you go to realize a dream? The twenty-two authors in this collection explore the possibilities, with predictably unpredictable results. Featuring stories by Pam Barnsley, Linda Bennett, Clark Boyd, C.W. Blackwell, Amanda Capper, Susan Daly, James Patrick Focarile, Rand Gaynor, Gina X. Grant, Julie Hastrup, Beth Irish, Charlie Kondek, Edward Lodi, Bethany Maines, Jim McDonald, donalee Moulton, Michael Penncavage, Judy Penz Sheluk, KM Rockwood, Peggy Rothschild, Debra Bliss Saenger, and Joseph S. Walker.

      Eric, believe it or not, he has no social media presence at all. Works on referral. Also does a lot of work for Ellen Byron. I can provide his email if you’d like it (use the Contact Form). He does all my covers and has for years.
