The Colour of the Soul recently received a gold star award in The Book Designer April cover competition. They even sent me a badge (woo-hoo!).

Most of the credit belongs to my cover designer, Michelle Arzu, not least for her boundless patience as I dithered between alternatives. As it happens, the cover design went full circle, ending with one that was very similar to the first she proposed. I thought it might be interesting to show the evolution of the cover.

The true horror of the pandemic will only become evident when pregnant women start dying moments after giving birth.

For the next seventeen years, scientists will strive to develop a cure. They will be unsuccessful.
