The illustrator of my cover has posted a partial peek at the artwork for my book. If you click on the link below and scroll down the page, the last illustration on the most recent post is of a green girl underwater. You can only see part of her face but at least it will give you a feel of what it looks like.

Shadow in the Sea
Readers will return to Windwaithe Island once again. When sixteen-year-old Sadelyn Hanson washes up on the shores of Windwaithe Island, her beauty and the strange marks on her wrist make superstitious locals suspect she is a mermaid. Feigning amnesia, Sade hides a far worse secret: she was sailing to her own murder trial when she was thrown overboard by the real killer, the cunning and cruel Captain Westwood.
Sade's quiet effort to rebuild her life on the island is threatened when she meets an actual young merman. Unable to speak his language, Sade still longs for the warm companionship he offers, despite the locals' dire legends about merfolk and their dark magic. But her confused feelings for the impossible boy become the least of her problems when Captain Westwood's ship docks at Windwaithe. With nowhere to escape, Sade must trust in the one person who doesn't fear the merfolk. A woman who had dealings with them herself—years ago

The picture is so beautiful!
My only hang up is that I wanted her to stay black. Otherwise, I bet it's so exciting to have that done!
Dang, lucky you! I've been to that book conference that BYU hosts and so many of the authors are distraught with how their covers are done, and you will not have to be in that category! That guy is good! I'm excited for this book!
WOW! I GOT CHILLS WHEN I SAW IT! I'M EXCITED TO SEE THE REST OF IT!
I am so excited about the cover. I think it will look fabulous.
Gorgeous!!!
