The haunting attraction of a cover image
Would you choose a book by its cover? Do scenes or people attract you more in cover images, making you pick the book from the shelf and turn it to read the blurb? But what if the image is simply a face--what part of that face will grab you and draw you in? Is it ethnicity, expression, beauty, convention, or more?
I'm delighted to welcome author annamaria bazzi to my blog today, revealing the wonderful (and haunting) cover for her new book Incantation Paradox, and introducing a truly intriguing protagonist, Dolores. I think it's the eyes that grab me in this cover. I wish I could say what the expression means, but to me, it's haunting, and makes me want to know more. So read on; enjoy the blurb. Over to you annamaria.
Hello, my name is Dolores and I'm a forty-something mother of two high school girls, Ella and Chloe. On my way to their recital, I was in a car accident that changed my life forever. We all desire to be young again, but never in someone else's body.
If you think magic doesn't exist, think again. There truly are people in the world who can wield magic, and I'm not talking the illusion kind we see on stage, I'm talking real magic, the magic you read in books with wizards and sorceresses. You don't have to take my word, read my story and find out for yourself the ordeal I had to go through to find my way back home.
