First Glance At The Cover Design For Lies Dead Men Tell

My cover designer, Robin Johnson of Florida Girl Design, has struck again! She’s created the cover for the first installment in the new series featuring your favorite detective and his partner from the future, Thomas Sullivan and Sarah.

The original award-winning cover Robin made for me was for The Predator and The Prey. This story introduced Inspector Thomas Sullivan and his crew.

I am convinced Robin has done it again with her artwork for Lies Dead Men Tell. (Scheduled for release in 2024)

It’s scary how close the depictions of Sully and Sarah are compared to how I pictured them. For Terminator and Terminator 2 fans, Robin’s technique might be a source of concern.

It’ s scary how close the depictions of Sully and Sarah are compared to how I pictured them in my mind. For those of us fans of Terminator and Terminator 2, Robin’s technique might be a source of concern. (We shouldn’t forget Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles either!)

That’s right. Robin used AI to generate the design. She promises me her AI is not evil and in no way related to Skynet.

I’m excited to share the fact that Murder on the San Juan Express was liked well enough to hit Number One on Amazon Kindle in the category of Railroad Fiction!
