Cover Relaunch with new title!

Artis Fricbergs - July 2016

Hi everyone, this is an announcement months in the making: 
Upon completing the Muskokans years ago, I knew that at some point I would be continuing the saga, but unsure as to exactly when. Now that book two is becoming a living, breathing entity, I'm confident enough to proclaim that this will evolve into a book series. When I first published book one in 2013, I published electronically. The cover art I designed was a reflection of the digital medium it would be displayed, marketed and read within. The exaggerated font sizes and imagery were all designed specifically to preview well at a small size, common to eBook marketing, but not really for print. When I published the first edition print version later on, I adapted the digital cover design to accommodate out of necessity. Since the book started becoming successful, I knew in my heart I had to revisit the print sleeve design and carefully craft visuals reflective of the heart and soul of this project. Thus, apart from writing book two, I've spent the past several months painstakingly developing design ideas for the cover(s) of this series. After weeks of gathering feedback, testing and redesigns, I narrowed it down to two finalists, only over the past few days arriving at the final decision. The first novel has always gone under the title "The Muskokans." But, because now it will be the first book of at least two, I felt it necessary to give it a subtitle and a design that would work harmoniously with book two, when it is eventually released in 2017. The books will both fall under "The Muskokans" umbrella, but each book will have its own identity and subtitle. So, as of now, the first book will be known as "The Muskokans, Book One, Nonquietus". (A title derived from the core story concept). I have a working title and cover for the sequel (Book Two), which will be revealed at a later date this year. But, at least for now, I'm very proud to unveil the new cover designs for Book One in the series. Over the next week, I will be updating all electronic downloads, paperback versions, website and support materials to reflect this new identity. For those of you with digital and print books with the original cover design, fret not, the book content has remained untouched, ( if all goes well, perhaps it will be a collectors edition one day ). So, there you go. I hope you enjoy it as

much as I have creating it. Thank you all for your support throughout this incredible journey. Sincerely, Artis
