New cover for The Spotted Dog Last Seen

000000014

Dear Blake,

Thank you for your lovely interpretation of the cover for The Spotted Dog Last Seen.  Your version is quite striking, especially the gate which seems to be very protective of the grave markers inside. Nice!

Thank you also for all your questions. My favorite is, “What is it like in Halifax? Is it cold or sunny?” Actually, it can be both on the same day. Sometimes it is foggy. And we had a truly hateful winter this past year with way too much snow. Still, it is very nice to live in Halifax, especially now, with all the boats in the harbour.

Happy reading,

Jessica

Drawing - Cheryl

Dear Cheryl,

You’ve drawn quite the bleak cemetery, much like I described in the opening scene from my new novel, The Spotted Dog Last Seen. Well done! I especially liked your observation that it would be different for people in the 1600s because they wouldn’t have much transportation and food, and that families often got separated from each other. These are great insights. You might want to consider writing historical fiction when you grow up.

Happy reading,

Jessica
