Tonight I wrote a check for the
photograph that will adorn the front cover of Falcon Down. The photographer is Kris Klop, of Clear Sky Photography.
I ran across him several years
ago, when I was trying to get my first novel published. I was looking
for aviation pictures in particular, and located a guy who seemed to
be getting pictures of high-performance aircraft from above, below, off to the
side and inside, no matter what their attitude or altitude was.
Don’t know how he does it. I don’t
know if he’s a daring wing-walker, or has a habit of bumming rides
on tanker aircraft or the second seat of two-seaters, or what his
secret is, but his photography is simply amazing. He captures
airplanes up-close-and-personal. If you are an aviation-aholic, you need to see this web site.
Here's a sneak preview of the cover photo we have selected. It was a tough choice. I perused at least 400 photos while on vacation, and Doris and I made a list of top candidates. The others that were in the running include:
- F-16Vaporizing the Sun
- F16sMake a Turn
- F-16Skirt the Fluff
- F-16sat Sunset
- F-16Chase
- F-16Over the Clouds
- ShortFinal
- F16Returns at night
- F16Vaporizes the Clouds
By the way,
the Falcon series will consist of four volumes, and I already know
that you’ll be seeing at least one of these on the cover of book 2,
Falcon Rising.
I’ve got an ISBN for Falcon Down. I’ve started writing the
back cover teaser. So look for the print-ready copy of the
cover of Falcon Down in the next month or so!
Though the book itself will
not be ready for another six months, I’m really excited about the
story. It’s going to keep you on the edge of your seat, and like
Outlander Chronicles: Phoenix, it has plenty of unpredictable plot
twists and turns.
