Author Anneli Purchase went shopping, 
found a designer she liked, and bought a new outfit. Now she has a new image. It’s not for her, but for her novel, The Wind Weeps.
Here’s Anneli herself to tell you more about this exciting change!
The Wind Weeps has so many tangible elements that I could have focused on any number of them for a cover image. The story involves boats, the BC coast, commercial fishing, handsome men, beautiful women, and the isolation of the coast. But my designer, Anita B. Carroll of http://race-point.com , suggested that since the book has so much emotion in it, why not go with a cover that reflects it.
Remember the terror Julia Roberts felt in the movie Sleeping with the Enemy? That’s the kind of terror Andrea feels about her husband, Robert. But in her case it isn’t so easy to escape him. He has taken her to live in a remote cabin on the coast, all communication unavailable to her.
We have love, anticipation, happiness, hope, desperation, indecision, ambivalence, frustration, fear and joy, just to name a few of the emotions found in The Wind Weeps.
Andrea once loved orchids, but Robert has turned them into a symbol of his control over her. The orchid on the cover seems to be weeping. The sky is blood red, the sea is dark and rough. And yet Andrea is determined to survive and get back to the man she wishes she had married, the one who has never stopped loving her.

Hold on. She’s married to Robert and trying to get to the man she wants to be married to? No break or nothing, huh…Maybe all Robert needs is a little therapy 🙂 Now, did this book have a different cover before or is this its first debut?
This book had a different cover.
Robert is keeping Andrea isolated in a cabin on the BC coast. If you’ve read The Wind Weeps, you’ll be wanting to read the sequel which should be available in early July. Watch for Reckoning Tide, coming soon.
I’ve read this book. It had me on the edge of my seat. I’m anxious to read the sequel. This new cover is amazing, Anneli. Suits the story so well.
Two of my favorite people in the same place!
Congrats on your book, Anneli! It sounds like the perfect summer read. The cover is fabulous!
