How gorgeous is that? The amazing cover artist, Shawna Tenney, captured the characters and scene perfectly -- just as I pictured it but a thousand times more vivid.
DEADWOOD is coming from Pugalicious Press in late 2012. Here's what it's about:
There’s something evil in Deadwood Park.Twelve-year-old Army brat Martin Cruz hates his rotten new town. Then he gets a message from a tree telling him it’s cursed — and so is he. It’s not just any tree. It’s the Spirit Tree, the ancient beech the high school football team carves to commemorate the home opener. And every year they lose.But the curse is no game, and it gets worse. Businesses fail. Trees topple like dominos. Sinkholes open up in the streets, swallowing cars and buildings. Even people begin to fade, drained of life.Martin teams up with know-it-all soccer star Hannah Vaughan. Together they must heal the tree, or be stuck in Deadwood Park at the mercy of the psycho who cursed it.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the DEADWOOD cover! And I'd really love it if you added it to your "to-read" list on Goodreads. Thanks so much!

I am blushing! Thanks for all the nice comments. I'm always nervous to send my art out into the world especially when I'm illustrating someone's baby. I'm glad for the good responses!

Wow, I love the cover - especially the twisted trunk of the tree and the glowing letters! I illustrate, and I love the covers of MG and YA (though MG has more illustrated covers lately).
