The Cover I Illustrated “Steampunk Alice” by Dennis Higgins Brought Home the Gold

Posted on January 8, 2015 by Virginia Wright

Steampunk Alice, written by Dennis Higgins, and illustrated by me (Virginia Wright), won the Gold in the Authorsdb 2014 Cover Contest. I’m so excited, I just had to blog about it!!!!

When I first began illustrating, it was only for my own books: Buzzzzzzzz What Honeybees Do, Crying Bear, The Princess and the Castle, The Prince and the Dragon, The Christmas Secret, and my latest release: Wild Animal Sounds.

Then, I met Dennis Higgins, and eventually he told me about a book he was writing (Steampunk Alice), and asked me if I would consider doing some art for it. I hesitated, but asked him to give me a brief description of what he envisioned his character, Steampunk Alice, would look like. I set my WIP aside, and began working on Alice. He liked it, and from that point on, I worked for a number of months on the cover, that Dennis also liked, and chose to use. And, I also did a a few of the book illustrations.

The cover was entered in the 2014 Authorsdb Cover Contest, and brought home the Gold. For someone who had never gone to an art school, and didn’t start illustrating until late in life, and never illustrated for anyone other than herself (until now), I can tell you that I am more than elated!!!

Steampunk Alice is a GREAT ‘Time-Travel’ book. I am extremely proud that the cover brought home the Gold for the author, Dennis Higgins. Thanks go out to: the voters, and Authorsdb.

A special goes out to Dennis Higgins. Thanks for believing in me, brother, as an author, artist, and for submitting the cover into the contest. Yippee! We brought home the (Gold).

I am currently working on my next writing and illustrating project, an adorable children’s Christmas book that is slated for release Fall 2015, titled: Timothy the Christmas Mouse.

Lastly, I am also going to work on something that is not my usual genre…. Stay tuned. :-)

Wishing you all a happy, healthy, and blessed new year!
Hugs,
-Virginia Wright

Indie and Proud …. Dennis Higgins

Posted on December 9, 2014 by Virginia Wright

Dennis Higgins

I met Author Dennis Higgins a couple of years ago online at one of the popular social media sites. We soon found out we had a few things in common besides writing. Both our sisters passed too soon, and we immediately adopted one another as virtual siblings.

Some years before this I met another Author, Launa McNeilly, we adopted one another as sisters. I am extremely grateful that I have gained such valuable relationships along my writing journey.

There are other friends that I have met online, that it seems as if we have known each other for years–they know who they are.

Now, more about this great Time-Travel writer….

Dennis Higgins is a distant relative of Davy Crockett, is a world traveler and native of Chicago, Illinois. He says that he has always possessed a romance with things of the past that are gone but not forgotten. He now lives in the suburbs with his lovely wife, one dog and a couple of birds.

Among his influences are: Richard Matheson, Jack Finney, Dean Koontz, Joan Wester Anderson, Peter S. Beagle and Audrey Neffenegger.

Dennis Higgins is the author of The Time Pilgrims books and they are part of a series for the YA and adult reading audience.

1.) Katya and Cyrus (Time Pilgrims Book 1)

2.) Almost Yesterday (Time Pilgrims Book 2)

3.) Tomorrow’s Borrowed Trouble

4. Parallel Roads (Lost on Route 66)

He is also author of Steampunk Alice – a Novella. The cover is illustrated by me (Virginia Wright). I had never read a Time-Travel book before Steampunk Alice. Oh, my gosh–I love it! It held my attention from page one!

The cover that I illustrated for Dennis Higgins book, Steampunk Alice, just made finals at Authorsdb.com’s 2014 Cover Contest. Excited! Excited, both for the author, Dennis Higgins, and for myself as an illustrator of the cover.

The cover contest voting will begin on Sunday, December 14, 2014 until December 21, 2014 PST. At the Authorsdb.com web site. Click on Cover Contest.

Dennis’s latest release is: Tomorrow’s Borrowed Trouble, this author certainly has been cranking out book after book the last year and two. He is a super inspiration to me as a writer.

Wishing you all the best on your latest release. Many happy sales!!

Tomorrow’s Borrowed Trouble

Hugs,

-Virginia
