Cover Reveal: Sign of the Green Dragon by C. Lee McKenzie: Ancient Dragons, Modern Crimes, and Unusual Treasure

Hey all! It’s Alexa, and today, I have the pleasure of revealing an exciting new book cover from author C. Lee McKenzie.

*DRUMROLL AND EPIC MUSIC*

Description from Author Website:

When a wall of their cave hideout crumbles, three boys discover a skeleton, clutching a treasure map. They set off to trace the story of an old murder, but stumble into a modern crime, and confront ancient Chinese dragons.

I love how this one just snags your attention. The cover itself is actually exciting and it makes me feel like there’s just so much story packed into it. It’s very impressive, how the designer was able to put all that together.

Speaking of, I was talking to Ms. McKenzie as I was working on this cover reveal, and she mentioned a little bit about her experience working with the cover designer: beginning with a short synopsis and descriptions of the characters, then going back and forth on some chest details until they finally got that perfect look. She said, “Working with a talented designer is always exciting because when they ‘get’ it, you finally ‘see’ what you’ve only pictured in your mind.” Like seriously, that’s gotta be one of the most fantastic feelings ever. 😀

A few fun facts I get to share:

  1. Tunnels and caves are a BIG part of the adventure.
  2. See those Chinese symbols? They’re important in solving the mystery.
  3. A boy’s at the center of the story.
  4. If there’s a treasure, it’s going to be unusual.
  5. Chinese Dragons are lurking; they’re just not easily seen.

Sounds neat, yeah? Sign of the Green Dragon releases on August 3rd of this year, and in the meantime you can pre-order it from Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and Kobo as well as visit Ms. McKenzie on her blog and author webpage.

So which fun fact or part of this cover intrigues you the most? Have you ever designed a book cover or had one designed? If not, do you have any ideas for what you’d like yours to look like? Can’t wait to hear from you all, and I’ll see you in the comment section! 😀
