Welcome back to another writerly wittering update, friend! Let’s be honest, this is more of a monthly than a weekly series, and has been for some time. Alas, I’m far too lazy to change the title, and it serves as a long-standing goal of mine. Maybe future me will finally get this whole scheduling thing right? Someday when I’m not chasing a toddler around the house… On that note, let’s talk about the Borderland Saga and Silver Hollow!
Those of you who have been with me a while on this blog may be aware of Silver Hollow and its sequels. But did you know that the Borderlands Saga is actually a larger world that also incorporates the Wylder Tales trilogy? Craving Beauty and the Wylder Tales takes place hundreds of years in the past, but it’s all very much connected. Those of you who read the series will be able to spot the connections. I’ll avoid spoilers here for the most part and save those for the newsletter crew ๐
While planning out my return to the world of Silver Hollow, I worked with my cover designer to give my first full-length novel a cover lift. This isn’t the first time I’ve updated a cover to adapt to shifting trends. While I’m still in love with all three covers, frankly, (even my 2012 edition) it is still such a fun process. Maybe I’m biased because I have the best cover designer ever (here’s looking at you, Najla!). Which of these are your favorites? Do you prefer covers with or without people on them?
