Wings of Power
With all the editions of this
book now available, it seems like time to do a comparison of cover
art...especially since I got to design the cover art for the newer
editions.
CreateSpace Print EditionThis book has had a wider variety of covers than the others in the series. For the e-book and the new reprint, I wanted an image that echoed those I used for the other Sabazel novels, something from the culture than helped inspire the story, in a form from that culture. And I found one, a lovely photo of a figurine of the Hindu god Shiva, Lord of the Dance. Perfect.
I still miss the little dragon, though.
eBook Edition
I threw myself on
iUniverse's mercy for the new edition cover and they did a good job
of matching the old one. I'd already resigned myself to losing the
dragonet, sadly..June 2001

The original cover would be
excellent if only Gard was shown with red hair and beard--his hair
color is an important plot point. The dragonet he's holding, though,
is superb, right down to its "what's up doc?" pose, and the exotic
trappings suit the story perfectly.
