Now a New York Times best-seller!

A space opera with lots of commercial appeal, adventure, and a passionate love affair. This was an incredible cover to create. The green dress, which I helped to design and have custom made, is the central focal point of our marketing campaign. For the cover, I knew I wanted the characters to reenact the key falling scene in the book when they are hurtled from the ship and free-fall through space to create impact and movement. The zero-gravity shoot involved a trampoline, ladder, crash pads, and two really brave models!

The follow-up book to These Broken Stars, with a similar plot but a different setting, characters, and political conflict at the heart of the story. The jumpsuit, which is going on tour with the authors, was custom-made and based on my design. We shot this cover at a movie stunt studio with direction from a Hollywood stunt trainer involving the biggest trampoline I have ever seen. 

This is the paperback repackage design. My original vision for the cover was very conceptual, and I was inspired by the cover of Prep -- super preppy, lots of pinks and light greens, Ultimately the author wanted to go with more of a scene. I found this image on a blog about all things preppy, and after three months I was able to track down the original photographer. It was a wild goose chase but we ended up getting the photo for a steal!

I was tasked to design a very distinctive cover for Tamara Ireland Stone's new breakout novel, Every Last Word. The book is about a teen girl struggling with a rare form of OCD who discovers that writing is the one thing that might save her. For the cover, I wanted to pay homage to the act of writing as her way of finding peace in her life. The pieces of paper tie into the number three, which the main character obsessively counts.

This is our third book by bestselling author Elizabeth Wein, a stand-alone novel set in 1930s Ethiopia about a brother and sister’s unbreakable bond. For the cover, the goal was to capture the beauty of the Ethiopian landscape while referencing the strong bond between two siblings. Flying is a central theme in the book, but I wanted the plane to be a bit more subtle than Code Name Verity. I love the way it interacts with the type.

This is the Printz Honor book set during World War II’s Nazi invasion starring two best friends whose bond is put to the ultimate test when faced with unthinkable circumstances. For the paperback repackage cover, we wanted a softer, more commercial look. The two bikes represent the unbreakable friendship at the heart of the story set against a pastoral backdrop, with a subtle threat of planes flying above. 

This is the paperback repackage cover, and the composition purposefully mimics the companion novel Code Name Verity’s paperback cover, yet a little more abstract. Again, the plane is a subtle element that you don’t necessarily see right away.    

Tangled Webs is about a 16-year-old girl who survives the gritty streets in 18th-century London by masquerading as a mysterious and seductive blackmailer who gets caught in a dangerous love triangle. It's a sultry, fun read. For the first few covers, I focused on showing the girl in different scenes, but they didn't feel striking enough. So I started exploring conceptual covers and kept coming back to lace imagery as a way to  capture the drama, beauty, and intricacy of the story. I knew lace had to be the concept for the cover, yet it needed to be balanced with some grittiness, which his where the tattered edges and grimy cobblestone background come in. We've gotten really great feedback about how unique this cover is and how it pops off the shelf. The lace art will wrap around the entire jacket. 

Part romance, part thriller, Far From You delves into the emotions of a girl recovering from drug addiction and grief, all wrapped up in a mystery. I was tasked to create a cover under a very tight deadline that captured the darkness of the cover in a very simple way.

A sci-fi thriller about a girl who is human-extraterrestrial hybrid and her race to escape the evil geneticists who created her. I wanted the cover to have a sci-fi look, yet still feel soft and romantic. She has one blue eye and one black eye, which you don't necessarily notice right away, but is the nod to her alien-human genetic makeup. I based the pose on an iconic image from The Great Gatsby (remake). 

A time-travel romance by Tamara Ireland Stone. Sales, Marketing, and Editorial wanted a super commercial, beautiful and romantic cover. We shot this on Coney Island on a frigid winter day. The goal was to create a cover that was all about the main character, with the romance element hinted at in a very simple way. 

The follow up to Time Between Us. Again -- a very commercial, romantic, dreamy cover. We shot this in Prospect Park on a perfect fall day. So many of the shots were beautiful, but there were only a handful that captured that magical and golden late afternoon glow of fall.
