Boxed Set Covers

October 4, 2015 by meredithmansfield

So, having decided to explore boxed sets, the next logical step was to figure out how to make a boxed set cover.

The only “boxed set” I currently have is the CHIMERIA OMNIBUS, which includes both BLOOD WILL TELL and BLOOD IS THICKER. The original cover was a sort of mash-up of the individual covers, but flat, like a regular book cover.

This seemed like the logical place to start learning how to take this cover and turn it into a boxed set. And . . . I did!

Yes, I did make a couple of changes to the cover, too. It doesn’t make much sense to have the individual book titles both on the cover and on the spine.

Now, on to considering a possible boxed set of my three young adult stand-alone novels. The sticking point here is in figuring out a cover image that works for:

FIRE AND EARTH, a sword-and-sorcery novel with an armored woman on the cover.
THE BARD’S GIFT, an historical fantasy with viking ships on the cover.
DAUGHTER OF THE DISGRACED KING, a fantasy romance with a girl with roses in her hair on the cover.
