I’m working on the covers of my new series, Roman Brit, that should be published in a year’s time or so.

It’s a weird thing drawing the covers when I haven’t actually written the books yet! I really need to get on with writing too – deadlines are looming.

The publishing business needs to see the covers as soon as possible, so that marketing can start swinging into action. There are catalogues to be produced, schedules to be organised, printers to be booked and warehouse space to be allocated. So much to do and all waiting for me to get what is in my head out onto paper.

Here’s a video explaining how I paint the covers and a bit of chat about designing covers too!
