30 Covers, 30 Days 2011: Day 23

Keep those word counts humming through this homestretch! Today's inspirational cover was created in 24 hours by the one-woman powerhouse, Ingrid Paulson:



Nevermore. by articzombie

When wizard Charlie created the Nevermore Agency back in his ninth grade year, he expected the worst. De-ghosting every day, killer spiders from Mars, the usual the police cared too little to mess with. But now in college, he really does miss those days he used to worry over. Because the weirdest things in his life now are his girlfriend, a nearly blind selkie hipster, and her fabulous vampire boss at Dante's Parlor of Theatrics.

However, when the witch Priscil Stone arrives in his apartment to ask him to track down a dangerous prankster, it would seem he was asking for a bit too much.



Ingrid Paulson runs her own one-woman studio, Ingrid Paulson Design, and has been designing books (in pretty much every category) longer than she'd like to admit. Prior to freelance, she was Art Director of Raincoast Books in Vancouver, and designer at McClelland & Stewart. She lives in Toronto.

Wow! So nice! Simple, but beautiful!

This has got to be one of my favorite designs thus far - simple and to the point.

This is probably my favourite so far. I gasped! I would totally pick it up if I saw it on the shelf, and the synopsis would take me to the cash register.

This is just beyond what I was anticipating for! It really captures the theme of the story and just wow, I still can't believe I actually got a cover.
Thank you so much!

Very nice cover! I'd take a look if I saw it in book stores. :)

I like this cover, I think that it captures the synopsis very well! Would definitely pick up this book for both the cover art and story! :D

Love the cover! I'd definitely be attracted enough to pick up the book to see what it was about.

I am so in love with this cover! It exceeds any other favorite covers I've had so far this month. The synopsis sounds interesting as well, a little quirky and fantastical. Great job!

Love it! It's perfect for the story, and Poe fans will like it.

This is definitely among the best so far this month.

O_O

This cover is simply amazing. The sense of depth is ridiculously cool.

And the synopsis! It sounds fantastic.

I love it! The cover reminds me of The Raven by Poe. "Quoth the raven, nevermore." Awesome job!

I'd certainly pick up a book with this cover. Great!

Very nice! I think that gave me some inspiration for the next 10k words I need to be writing. Ah well, procrastination is my specialty!

OH MY GOSH. I LOVE THIS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! This is now my favourite cover of the month! awesome job! (and cool story!)

Yep, this is my new favorite. Just freaking AWESOME.

I want a gorgeous cover for my novel when it's done. Mineneeds to be an image of a lavender-coloured scruffy sack-cloth cat. Yes - you hear right! God knows, it couldn't look as good as this cover. This is brilliant and spooky all at the same time. Never mind - my lavender cat's going to be emotive - I hope!!!! ha!

That's incredible! There are so many amazing books being written!

This totally made me stare. Wonderful job!
