As my longtime readers know, I&#8217;m passionate about cover art, so I knew I had to get it right when it came time to choosing an illustrator and designing my first cover. As soon as I saw Leement&#8217;s artwork (which you may remember from a post on <a title=\"Explore the vast corners of the universe with Kuldar Leement\" href=\"https:\/\/aidanmoher.com\/blog\/2014\/08\/art\/explore-vast-corners-universe-kuldar-leement\/\">A Dribble of Ink<\/a> last year), I knew immediately that he was the artist I wanted to represent &#8220;Tide of Shadows,&#8221; the collection&#8217;s lead story. Leement&#8217;s artwork is powerful and ethereal, and has the ability to transport you to the furthest edges of the universe-where boundless imagination lives.<\/p>\n<p>A print of the original illustration is available through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inprnt.com\/gallery\/kuldarl\/resistance\/\">Kuldar Leement&#8217;s online store<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Design and typography was handled by me.<\/p>\n<h2>The Collection<\/h2>\n<p>The publication of <em>Tide of Shadows and Other Stories<\/em> is the culmination of several years of hard work, and a desire to expand A Dribble of Ink into other publishing mediums. With the rise of self publishing, and A Dribble of Ink&#8217;s continued evolution, the time is finally right to launch this project start on this new journey. The stories in this collection reflect highlights from my library of short fiction from 2010-2014, and each piece illustrates a particular lens to my explorations as a writer. I hope you enjoy <em>Tide of Shadows and Other Stories<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>Release Date &amp; Pre-order<\/h2>\n<p><em>Tide of Shadows and Other Stories<\/em> will be published by A Dribble of Ink on May 4, 2015, and is available now for pre-order for $2.99.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button\" style=\"font-size: 22px; line-height: 28px; font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00VR2LEMI\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B00VR2LEMI&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=adrofin07-20&#038;linkId=CWXMARQ4FU475UYE\">Pre-order <em>Tide of Shadows and Other Stories<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am pleased to announce Tide of Shadows and Other Stories\u2014a collection of five science fiction and fantasy stories spanning adventure, comic whimsy, and powerful drama\u2014from a star-faring military science fiction tale of love and sacrifice, to a romp through the dragon-infested Kingdom of Copperkettle Vale.
