The Eternal Encore - coming Jul 2025
Presenting the Cover for "The Eternal Encore"!
I’m overjoyed to share the cover for my 10th anniversary novel, "The Eternal Encore." It’s a story of redemption set against the vibrant, soulful world of jazz. The novel follows Jamar Ward, a young pianist navigating his way through life's complexities while carrying the weight of a family’s musical legacy.
When designing the cover, I wanted it to reflect the essence of the jazz world—its history, its rhythm, and its emotional depth. I drew inspiration from classic jazz album covers and was particularly captivated by the mid-century aesthetic of Thelonious Monk's "Palo Alto." There’s something timeless about that era’s album art that feels alive and fitting for a story like this, where music isn’t just a backdrop, but a character in its own right.
I can’t wait to share more about the book's journey, the music that inspired it, and the themes of love, loss, and healing that it explores. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the release!
Thank you for all the support over the past decade. Here’s to celebrating the magic of music and storytelling together!
