Web page and Book Cover design

1/7/2012

I want to send out a special thanks to my daughter, Cathleen Elliott, who just finished a haunting book cover for Cooper's Moon. It is the perfect addition to this web site. With Ryan as the designer of the web site and Cathleen as the book cover designer, this site is truly a family project. Add in my wife, Karyn, my muse and constant support in all things, and the site is coming together. I was happy that Tris Coburn (my agent) thought that it was "fabulous!" Thanks, Tris!

The new book cover should be up in several days. Check it out and let us know what you think of it! You can comment below.

I am looking forward to sharing it with you. Connie

A fantastic book! I haven't read such an engrossing detective novel in a long, long time. I eagerly anticipate the second installment in the series.

Cathleen's book cover is brilliant. Lucky are we to have such a talented book designer as a daughter. I feel inspired when I look at it because it feels like a jigsaw puzzle in art. First my eyes follow the smoke around Cooper's face which is covered in mangroves and darkness and then that same smoke swings around to the moon to provide a haunting sense of forboding. And then a juxtaposition --a muted light accentuates the child running to ? or from? the house ? or someone? All a blur in Cooper's mind. And the baseball -- at the forefront of the yard and in Cooper's memory. Knowing the novel, I can see that this cover is right on target.

Richard's first two books in the Cooper Mystery Series, Cooper's Moon and Blood Moon Rising will have a grand finale coming out this summer, 2020...In this next book, A Cold Copper Moon, readers will learn what happened to Detective Cooper's son, Maxie. Remember? Max disappeared 8 years ago. I promise I'll give you ample clues, but the end provides quite a twist! Let's see if you can figure it out... I doubt it. No early readers have so far.
