Bryan Cassiday
I write horror books and thrillers.
I want a cover for my zombie apocalypse thriller "Sanctuary in Steel." I'm thinking maybe it would be good to have a zombie or zombies in chains (in prison?), since zombies in chains are put on trial in the novel. Here's a synopsis of the novel:
Black ops agent Chad Halverson of the CIA's National Clandestine Service escapes plague- and zombie-ravaged Santa Monica with dress designer Victoria Brady and sets sail up the smoldering California coast.
Along the way, Halverson and Brady rescue the idealistic Dr. Parnelll, the UCSB coed Brittany Pine who is in a state of shock induced by the loss of her boyfriend to the walking dead, and the cynical reporter Blake Reno.
Seeking sanctuary from the walking dead in Alcatraz prison, Halverson and his band of refugees discover that all is not as it seems on the island haven at the Rock.
In fact, they may have more to fear than the walking dead in the person of Alcatraz's reigning "Chosen One," the charismatic proponent of law and order Jefferson Bascomb, who believes zombies have the right to a fair trial.
This is a horror book, so it should be a dark scary cover.
For the entire book cover I need a pdf that is 7.029" X 9.25"--this includes the spine and bleeds of .125". (In other words, the book is 6" X 9".) The spine itself is .779". This pdf will be submitted to Create Space. For Amazon I need a JPEG with a ratio of height/width of 1.6 for the front cover image alone. 1563 pixels on the shortest side. 2500 pixels on the longest side. For Barnes and Noble I need a JPEG front cover image with sides between 1400 pixels and 2000 pixels at 150 dpi. Thank you.
I've included my photo below for the back of the book. On the back cover I would like to have my synopsis (see above), my photo about an inch and a half in height or so, and this text:
Praise for Bryan Cassiday's "Sanctuary in Steel" [heading]
"Written with the epic scope of 'World War Z' and infused with the gritty spook works derring-do of a Robert Ludlum spy thriller."--Joe McKinney, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of "Flesh Eaters" and "Inheritance"
Also, on the back cover, I need an 1 1/2" (height) X 2 1/4" (length) of free space for the bar code in the lower right corner.
