Cover Evolution

The Advent (also known as Passion Forsaken) has a long and varied book cover history.

The first book in the Collective Obsessions Saga began with the following cover (my design) back in 2001:

Followed by the professional rendering undertaken by my first publisher Tyborne Hill in 2003:

And, finally, the new paperback cover:

Needless to say, the first two renderings were issued long before I decided to write the Collective Obsessions Saga using the pseudonym Deidre Dalton.

My preference? It's a toss-up between the fourth design and the current paperback cover. I like them both.
