Part of the pleasure of this project was the drive itself: Anne runs a B&B in Point Reyes Station, called Seven Grey Foxes.
Bucolic, quiet and within close proximity to Tomales Bay, it was a wonderful atmosphere to sit, have tea and talk about her vision of the book cover. We started with the old B&W photo of Anne and Philip and she suggested the "fireball" behind it. After reading some letters Philip had written and other quotes, I knew I had to include some of his words within the cover itself. It went through several permutations, but we finally got to right feeling and, hopefully, pizazz to attract the average reader's eye, not just the average fan.
As of this writing, the book is at the printers and should be out this summer. It will be available through Amazon.com and Anne's website among others. I'll keep you posted!
