Flights of Angels – Cover Art


I have  just designed a new cover for the romantic comedy Flights of Angels.

Flights of Angels is, as you have probably realised, by my wife, Victoria Connelly. It was originally published in Germany where it was a bestseller and it was later was adapted into a film for SAT1 television.

A scene from Himmlischer Besuch für Lisa.

Although written in English it has only been available in German until now. You can download the English version from Amazon – Flights of Angels

At the weekend Karl Terry invited a group of friends to join him for a day’s painting. He arranged access to a private stretch of the river at Rye in East Sussex then, in the evening, showed off his skills at the barbeque.

The 5 minute sketch above was the result of a challenge.  We all went over the time limit – this one took me about 10 minutes.

 

Thanks Karl :-)
