Cover Reveal for "The Moon-Haunted Heart" by TAS



I've been working for the past several months on a collection of "mature literary" micro-fiction entitled The Moon-Haunted Heart. I envision a book of approximately 50,000 words comprising fifty mostly very-short stories ranging in length from 50 to 3500 words. Stylistically, the stories are all over the place (rather like my restless mind) with everything from delicately atmospheric literary vignettes to darkly humorous paranormal tales. There will be five or six m/m stories, and six or seven stories featuring the erotic experiences of  disabled/visually impaired characters. Altogether it's been a marvelously stimulating undertaking, and I can practically feel my "growth" as a writer with each completed piece.

Here's a first look at the cover I've designed for the collection. I wanted to eschew overtly erotic imagery while still offering a hint of the book's contents and spirit. I love designing my own covers, but color blindness can be something of an obstacle, so I try to keep the colors very basic, and the fonts fairly simple, straightforward, flexible, and easy to work with. Constructive comments are certainly welcome, as I recognize that this is not my area of expertise.

Over the next few months, I will post the occasional story from the collection here on EFTBB. I hope you will enjoy them, and look forward to the release of the entire collection with the same enthusiasm I've had in creating it.

cheers
