Hi all,
In case you missed my posts this week, the cover for Blood and Water is now ready and looks gorgeous!
It was designed by the lovely people at Deranged Doctor Design.
I thought I would share with you the reasoning behind the design:
- The red and blue colour scheme is for the theme of blood and water.
- Hazel, the protagonist, is on the cover.
- She is wearing modern clothes because the book is set in the modern day.
- The background of a field is a location in the book, where Hazel attends dragon training.
- As a water elemental, Hazel wields water on the cover.
- She's practicing a move that creates a shield of their element around the user.
- I prefer light colours for text as I think that makes the title pop more.
- The font is the first one I was shown and I loved it.
- I asked for my name to be at the top so it doesn't take away from the cover design.
- There aren't any dragons on the cover because I thought it would clog the background too much.
The other covers for the series will have similar elements of the above, though they will have different colour schemes and new locations. Each cover will feature Hazel as she is the main character in all of them. There won't be more than one character on the Elemental Dragons covers.

Blood and Water will be out October 2019!
See you next week!
