This book is a gay erotica mystery. With the exception of the spirit, who is described in the book as a 22 year old man looking like Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights, the two other male characters are in their early forties, in shape but not defined with sculpted bodies. They are regular attractive men for their age. One is dark haired (with a little gray at the temples) and the other has light brown hair with blond streaks, their hair is not shoulder length, but not short either. The house is described as putty colored thin clapboard siding with nine over nine pane windows. White trim. The house sits close to the street, with only a small garden in the front. This is just one idea I’ve had for the cover. One event in the book takes place in a converted barn where the two main characters are lying on a sectional sofa inside a large open barn door that looks out over a beautiful pasture. In the book they are naked, so if you can imply/incorporate this in your cover design that would be great. However, I am open to a variety of designs so please submit your ideas. No drawing please.
