Book Cover Illustrations

I completed the cover illustration for Jim Organ’s book Clockwork Girl, a science fiction / fantasy story about a young lady who discovers she isn’t human but rather a mechanism that thinks it’s human. Beautiful idea for a story. I’m looking forward to reading this tale.

Some of these horror illustrations have actually appeared on book or magazine covers. One (the serpent Satan shaking his fist at Heaven) even appeared on the cover […]

I just happened to discover that the three Edgar Allan Poe “free ebooks” I created a few years back (as Christmas and Halloween presents for friends and clients) have made their way to the Internet in some unexpected places — with one site classifying them as “science fiction” books.
