“The music of white dances softly around
The soft silence & blue are bound
Purple is calm, the sound soft & sweet
The color lightness of a rainbow is a hypnotic beat
In yellow, the silence is loud
While red is a yell, robust and proud”

"Out yonder, under the shining vault,
among men the saying goes: "Man, be thyself!"
At home here with us, 'mid the tribe of the trolls,
the saying goes: "Troll, to thyself be-enough!" (Ibsen)

A3) Not a trend, but I always want the "direction" of the cover art to lead the eye toward the direction the book opens. For The Guardians of Zoone, I specifically asked for the art to be flipped so that the ship was pointing right. (Art by Evan Monteiro)
