Yes, I shared with my publisher the concept of the cover design, which was based on a picture I took on my sons walking purposeful on a mountain ridge. I wanted a girl walking with a purpose on a mountain. The first version of the cover was exactly that. While it was beautiful, I could not relate to the girl at all. She was too hip, too cool, too sophisticated, and I was none of that when growing up. So I asked for a different girl. Instead of finding me a new girl, they sent me a link to thousands of photos so that I could look through. That is when I stumbled into the girl that now graces the cover of Leaving Shangrila. I knew in an instant that it was the right cover. Ai girl, walking with a purpose, messy hair, barefoot, wearing a dress and walking on a dirt path. Just perfect, really.Isabelle Gecilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17186331463755678626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443945244399440223.post-81182827017766090112016-06-21T00:48:35.381+01:002016-06-21T00:48:35.381+01:00Sounds like a very good book.
