It's All in the Cover~#WhenCloudsTouch #romance ~ Ey Wade's~ When Clouds Touch

“ I knew in my soul, I loved you before we ever met.”

Paisley has dreamed of this
connection all of her life. Held him in
every pulse of her heart. Glimpsed him from the corner of her
Eyes. Like wisps of the future - drifts from past.
Malachi chased her in his dreams ....
Across a life time. Seeing, but never touching.

And that’s how they lived life, continuously rushing past destiny.
Reaching for each other, only to have their steps redirected.

When clouds touch, it becomes an affair of the heart. Will the heart be strong
enough to accept the challenge?

When Clouds Touch is the embodiment of a story of soul mates, Paisley and Malachi.
Destined to meet since before birth, their story wraps us somewhere between loving and caring, wanting the best for someone, while wanting to see them happy, even when it is risky and they must obey the demands of family.
Paisley, a woman of Japanese decent, living with Albinism and heart disease, is meek, yet makes no apologies for seeking what she yearns. Hiding behind the protective fold of her wagasa, she yearns for freedom from her overprotective parents and the love of a man she's known only in her dreams, even at the cost of her health.
Malachi, a man who has visions of meeting an elusive shadow, uses his sense of humor and sensitive side to build their relationship. He's determined to win her love, even against the wishes of her parents.

It's All in the Cover~#WhenCloudsTouch #romance

What does the cover of a book mean to you?
Is it to give an idea of the contents or just a pretty tool of enticement? It has taken a while, designing several samples and finally, I have the cover that says what my mind sees.

My first idea was to have an essence of people, a shadow in the clouds. I liked it, but no one got the vision.

The second, was to direct attention to the wagasa. The Japanese umbrella Paisley uses to hide her skin from the rays of the sun. The symbol of her overprotective shield between her and the world. Pretty, but didn't work.

The third, my final choice, speaks nothing but romance. The tiny heart on the sleeve, represents the exposure of the love the couple feel towards each other while showing the fragility of Paisley.

Tada!! Now here we stand.

Even though I love this cover of the girl, after a little while, it
just doesn't seem to fit. Until now. I've designed a different cover-the one on the left. It depicts the view from the excerpt. Perfect, riiight?

Authors: Have you ever had problems choosing the right cover?

A Beautiful Observation

"...this wordsmith artist now crafted a story of opposites who see each other before they are aware then reconnect when all odds are against them.
The writing is lyrical, the settings though seemingly ordinary, extraordinary. Yet this reader was moving along so swiftly to discover what would happen moment by precious moment that only now can I admit that this author is an immense talent.
As if I were to step into a room to view a priceless Monet of words, I stand in awe of her work! I know that in reading each book, you will discover that it is uniquely a one of a kind rhapsody composed by this gifted author who carved out the notes as a sculpture would if they were instead a writer.
Yes, if Michelangelo were an author, I believe he would have read ‘When Clouds Touch” and wish he had written this novella!"
