I’m excited to share the cover illustration I created for forthcoming book ‘Love Fortunes and Other Disasters’, written by Kimberly Karalius.

 

The book will be available from May 2015 and is now available for pre-order. It is to be published by Swoon Reads, an imprint of Macmillan Publishing focusing on young adult romantic fiction.

Here is a brief description of the story:

"Love is real in the town of Grimbaud and Fallon Dupree has dreamed of attending high school there for years. After all, generations of Dupree’s have successfully followed the (100% accurate!) love fortunes from Zita’s famous Love Charms Shop to happily marry their high school sweethearts. It’s a tradition. So she is both stunned and devastated when her fortune states that she will NEVER find love.

Fortunately, Fallon isn’t the only student with a terrible love fortune, and a rebellion is brewing. Fallon is determined to take control of her own fate—even if it means working with a notorious heartbreaker like Sebastian.

Will Fallon and Sebastian be able to overthrow Zita’s tyranny and fall in love?”
