Happy 6th birthday to the first cover I ever did as an AD, and a little ty to How to Keep House, my first best seller that also turned out to really come in handy recently. As many in my life know, I struggled with my mental and physical health over the last year—but as that chapter continues to close, I’ve been feeling so much gratitude for my craft, and the writers and publishers whose gifts let me pay my bills with my favorite thing in the world. Second favorite thing, but the Haribo Bear still isn’t speaking to me. Much work left to do… 📚

New cover for a slick and exciting new literary thriller from Kate Van Der Borgh. I loved working on this one. Peep the full mech too 🐍 🐍 first of my new batch at UNSQ&Co #bookcovers #bookstagram #artistsoninstagram #bookcoverdesign

New cover! Literally a dream to work on, I loved this book. Out in July from dream editor Marysue Rucci 😇 🇨🇺 In Tell it To Me Singing, a Cuban American family is sent into a tailspin when their ailing matriarch confesses her daughter's father is not the man who raised her. But when her mother wakes up and begins having delusional episodes, Monica doesn’t know what to believe—whether the confession was real or just a channeling of the telenovela her mother watches nightly.Tell It to Me Singing is a story that takes readers from Miami to Cuba in a search for the truth that leads to a new understanding of the past. Along the way it explores the questions of how and to whom we belong, how a life is built, and how we know when we’re home. #bookstagram #bookcover #bookcoverdesign #cuba #artistsoninstagram #bookstagram

CLOUD SIX goes on sale 9/22 and is available to preorder now! Surprise, you’re dead! This hilarious and moving novel follows a couple forced into unthinkable challenges when, after dying in a plane crash, they find themselves in the lowest tier of heaven, filled with laughter and dread, fear and acceptance, and family bonds even death can’t break Following a catastrophic plane crash, married couple Mam and Bunko have found themselves in Cloud Six. It’s the newest, and lowest, tier of heaven, run by a slumlord demon named Widdershins who takes the form of an underwear model. With a rabbit skeleton as their guide, the pair do their best to remain hopeful and together in their quest: to navigate the strangest of places, to find help, and to catch even one glimpse of the teen daughter they left behind. While Mam and Bunko try to accept their fate, Widdershins navigates workplace politics and tries to impress an ex lover. And Amy, who appears in the book as our guide and scribe, grapples with how to tell an honest story with Satan breathing down her neck. CLOUD SIX is Amy Fusselman at her most original and heartfelt, offering a blistering yet humorous take on the many trials of contemporary life, including parenting, substance abuse, depression, gun violence, and climate change. #coverreveal #bookstagram #coverdesign #artistsoninstagram
