Cover Art for The Gender Divide
Here is the new cover art for The Gender Divide (click to see a larger version).
It is very different from the old cover art, so it was a major adjustment for me but it is growing on me. In many ways it is much more sophisticated than the previous cover art and I think that it makes it clear that The Gender Divide is a science fiction novel first and foremost. There is a strong romantic vein but I’m not sure I’d want to read a novel that doesn’t have an element of romance to it.
I hope that you like it as much as I do. If you do happen to have a copy of The Gender Divide with the old cover (when it was published by Shadowmere Publishing) you are now the proud owner of a collectors item. Just like me and my eleven copies.
UPDATE Apr 5 - The Cover Artist is Trisha FitzGerald-Petri and here are her links.

Wow, I love the cover. The green feels alive and mysterious and the woman emmersed in her own sci-fi fantasy. Gotta love when the cover is more than you dreamed it could be. Congrats big time.

Thanks Ciara!
I’ve gotten a lot of great feedback about the cover and it is really growing on me. Not what I envisioned but somehow that makes it even better.

I can’t believe I didn’t mention that in the post! What was I thinking? I’ve updated post to mention the cover artist.
Thanks for the comment.
