I decided to update the cover of my children’s novel, hoping it might gain more interest. I painted it yesterday morning and then added the cover text and border today. The image shows Chloe, the cynical cat, and the unnamed narrator of the story (the chick). In the upcoming sequel, Stormy Within The Strawberry Patch, we will come to find that the narrator from the first novel is actually named Goldie. She will be a year older, and will have her own chicks to look after while Stormy, the young cat, comes to terms with his killer instinct as a predator, as well as the problems arising from a family of foxes that are hunting the chickens. Stormy will be a conflicted hunter who tries to come to terms with his inherent need to prey upon other animals, including the animals that he knew growing up as a kitten.
Children’s Novel Cover Update

Stephen Marshall. Writer, illustrator, layabout. Find him on Amazon, maybe. He has paperback and kindle books listed there. He also writes Supernatural Romance under the name S.C. Foster (because his fiancee pushed him to do so). He seems to have a knack for the Romance genre, much to his chagrin. Having pursued Children's literature he is particularly proud of his Children's novel series "Lost And Found", which begins with "Chloe Among The Clover", continues recently with "Stormy Within The Strawberry Patch" and may, in some future potentiality, culminate with "Candice Through The Picket Fence". These are novels for children (including his insistent nephew), but they are also written for adults who are children at heart. His short story collection, "The Eldritch Diaries", centers primarily upon Cosmic Horror and Body Horror, combining Lovecraft's mythos with the motifs of Sigmund Freud. His largest poetry collection, "Broken Crown Kings", contains over two hundred poems and two short novellas concerning the fleeting nature of the world and Man's place within it. Recently he has published a smaller book of poetry concerning Kentucky, Moonshine, and Ghosts called "Moonshine And Spirit Chasers". A much larger collection, entitled '"Nevermore" 99 Rhymes For $0.99' is also available. https://www.amazon.com/Stephen-Marshall/e/B07536QKD9?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_fkmrnull_1&qid=1554215427&sr=8-1-fkmrnull View all posts by tanglerootblog
