Turning Vampire series

 This snapshot of an old storefront became the background for a website title page for the Turning Vampire series. The roof, sky, window and moon were added from other photos.




We were running short on time and so I created this cover for the 4th novel in the Turning Vampire series. It will eventually be replaced by a cover from the excellent artist who usually does the covers, I think.

For the background I used a photo of the old family house in Minnesota. It was built by an ancestor of mine as  a wedding gift for his bride. It started out as a small house and then as the family size grew, so did the house, with additions that created some interesting juts in its shape, rather like the Washington State house where Georgia lived for a while. What is lacking is the forest of fir trees.
