Emma Collingwood: Cover art for “The Radiant Boy” by Amandine de Villeneuve
8 July, 2009
From the blog of Emma Collingwood:
I received the illustrations and the cover art by Mlle Amandine de Villeneuve and was once more completely stunned and in awe of her talent at drawing as well as catching the personalities of my characters with pen and Indian ink.
“The Radiant Boy” is almost finished, and I can promise you eery tales set in the Age of Sail, tributes to the classic ghost stories of the 18th and 19th century. Mlle de Villeneuve has produced once more truly amazing artwork, and I’m over the moon that I can share the raw art for the cover with you today.

Charlie, the main character in the title story of “The Radiant Boy”
I’ll give you soon more information on publishing date, price etc., but costs should be about the same as for “Lieutenant Samuel Blackwood (deceased)”. A release in E-book format isn’t planned yet (thanks to assorted e-pirates, screw you lot), and just like the tomes in the past, this little book comes with – a book curse. Where firewalls fail, curses might help.
I herewith hug and kiss Mlle de Villeneuve through the screen; I won’t call her George, though, unless she insists…
