The Book Covers

The Immortality Gene cover is a collage of elements in the story. Most people will recognize the DNA spiral. (It took me ages to get that curling to properly follow the Milky Way)The background being the Milky Way. A wolf bays at the moon, representing Donna's lost love. In the corner is the Triplet crest.
The old book cover, which you can see if you move a mouse pointer over the image, also shows the X chromosome and a mitochondria in a cell. In the background you'll find 'Langston Castle' and an old mine entrance. Both places are real and from pictures I took of Langley Castle and Blackett Level in Northumberland, England. Look carefully and you'll find an almost transparent 'nanobug.' You might notice that the original book cover shows the title as 'A Vested Interest'; that became the series title.
The cover for 'Dark Secrets' is meant to represent an old diary which has the Triplet escutcheon embossed on it. It represents that this is an old family with lots of history. The dark colour indicating a dark secret buried there.
The books
The cover of No Secrets also features an old book - Wilson's diary. It features a Celtic knot representing a tangled mystery and eternity.
Stones, Stars and Solutions shows a pyramid in a desert at night. Above it you see a sea of stars. The pyramid is actually that of Chichen Itza in Yucatán, Mexico and the desert at night is Death Valley, Arizona. Both are locations featured in the story. There's a free screen wallpaper of this cover which also has the mysterious device which is the prize sought in the book.

Leap of Faith's cover shows the moment when two of the characters take a 'leap of faith' by walking into the unknown, one jumping with exitement. This cover was produced by our son, Adam Chapman
Regret and Retribution shows the mind storm on Mother's Mountain in Arizona. In the background you'll recognize those stars from 'Stones, Stars and Solutions. The mountain is based on a real location but the one showed here is actually the same mountaintop shown twice and it is Great Gable in the UK's Lake District.
...and here's the paperback cover from 'Consequences':
...same mountain. This book image reflects the moment when Donna is released from the mind storm. It's raining, she's in the downdraft of the helicopter which is lashing her wet hair and she sees the ring Jared gave her lying on the ground.

The Blood of the Rainbow covers

Shown above is the cover of Raging Storm. If you hover over it you'll see the original cover of 'Blood of the Rainbow', a cover we produced before really understanding book cover design. It shows Mother's Mountain in Arizona - Yes it's a real place but don't expect to see blood dripping from it if you go there.
Next to is is the cover of 'Roses and Regret.'
Finally here's the cover of Choice and Change which shows Donna feeling protected by Jared in his wolf spirit form. The original image for this was produced by digital artist Steve de la Mere.
