Kaminishi - Release Date and Cover Art


Kaminishi will be released in ebook and trade paperback formats on February 21, 2011.

For more information:

Kaminishi - Dreamspinner Press

The beautiful cover art is by Anne Cain. Her illustration really captures the feel of the story and the appeal of the characters (both men are just gorgeous!). I am a very fortunate author to have had Anne Cain as the artist for my first cover. For more information on Anne's work:

I have many thoughts about being published. It's been a long and interesting road getting here. I'll post some of my thoughts on this later in the week.

Lovely cover~

Just curious, how did you go about finding an artist? Is Anne someone you know or did you have to search for one?

Once again, congrats =D

Thanks! I love it... The publisher, Dreamspinner Press, hired Anne Cain to do the cover. Anne has done a lot of beautiful covers for romance novels, and I was thrilled when I learned she was doing Kaminishi's cover. =D

Exciting! You know what's strange? When I saw the cover art, the bishounen on the left reminded me of a blue-eyed version of Ayato Kamina from Rahxephon:

But there's no mecha in your novel, right? =)

!! :) Never thought of Ayato as a model for my protagonist Michael... Ayato was cute, but for me he was one of those Shinji-type whiny protagonists. I kept watching Rahxephon, hoping he would grow a spine, but it never happened... beautiful music and visuals in that series, though. :)

Maybe I should have thrown a mecha or two into Kaminishi, just to confuse people. =D
