Covers for the Deputy Tempe Crabtree Series

The first four covers were designed by the first publisher, and some have been redesigned by Mundania Press. Fortunately, I’ve been able to give input about the covers, and the artist has done a great job putting my vision into reality.

I’m just going to write about some of the later books and their covers.

The research into Kindred Spirits rekindled my interest in the Big Foot legend. I discovered that the Indian reservation nearby had their own version called the Hairy Man.

In Dispel the Mist, the Hairy Man makes his first appearance, and it seemed fitting that the pictograph of him found on the reservation should go on the cover.

The cover of Invisible Path is perfect for the title—and there is reference to the Hairy Man in this one too.

I absolutely love the cover for Bears with Us—it depicts the theme of the story perfectly.

Raging Water’s cover is a stylized design of exactly what the book is about.

Because Spirit Shapes has the ghost of a little girl and a whirlwind of restless spirits, the cover design is perfect.

 The Hairy Man makes an appearance in River Spirits too as do spirits that rise from the river.

Much of the story of Not as it Seems centers around Morro Bay, and of course there are many Indian spirits involved—and you can see how this is shown in the cover.

This is the latest entry into the series: Seldom Traveled. Because a forest fire has much to do with the story, and an eagle plays an important part, once again the artist did a fantastic job with the cover.

What do you think? Which one is your favorite?
