So, after taking my time on deciding what I wanted the cover of The Dance Of Men to look like, here it is!
As all my books are and will be (for the considerable future), I have designed and created the covers myself. As an artist/illustrator, I love the opportunity to really make something that I know is accurate to the books. The person who created the saying 'Don't judge a book by its cover' has clearly never gone to a bookshop/library in their life.

A little bit about the cover and the story behind it!
The top two silhouettes are Sebastian (on the left) and Julian (the right). They are two of the main characters of the story and they were the ones that started the whole idea of the book off, so naturally, I put them on the cover :)
The white silhouette is Mitchell, one of the other main characters. His placement is a pivotal moment in his storyline, so you'll have to read it to find out why he's there!
Having Julian and Sebastian looking down on Mitchell is another key point to the story ;)
Overall, I wanted to go for a circus-y, theatrical-y theme for the whole cover. While the book is based around ballroom dancing and the men involved, I wanted a nice dramatic effect. The red and black does that nicely.
Well, that's all I can say about it without giving too many spoilers about it! :D
Make sure to check back at release date for the details on where to purchase!
