The official Wings of Wax cover is here!!!

Wings of Wax, Apollo PapafrangouHey friends,

I’m so excited to share with you the official cover for my novel coming soon from Booktrope, Wings of Wax.

The immensely talented designer Shari Ryan created this concept, a vision of a drawing table belonging to the story’s aspiring artist of a protagonist, Angelo Koutouvalis. The “sketch” of the Bay Bridge behind Grecian columns represents the novel’s two settings, the San Francisco Bay Area and Greece.

Since the story is, in one sense, a travel narrative, there’s the imagery of a passport and boarding pass, along with a miniature Greek flag representative of both the country and the protagonist’s pride in his ethnic heritage.

All I did was give Shari a brief description of what I had in my head in regard to a cover, and she did the rest. I’m really happy with the result, and I hope you like it, too.
