What Readers are Saying about Cathadeus: “Jeff J. Peters’ strong cinematic writing style allowed me to easily visualize the story and feel that I was right there alongside the characters.” - Alison W. “Jeff J. Peters’ writing is so smooth and easy to read – I can’t tell you how much of a pleasure it was…and how quickly you end up being drawn into the story because of it.” - Amanda R. “Cathadeus is the best kind of fantasy story - you get to learn along with a flawed main character while you get lost in a richly designed world. You can’t help but keep reading. A cleanly written pairing of characters you wish you could spend more time with and an enthralling world built around them. Cathadeus is the kind of story that plays perfectly off of your imagination, with characters grounded in reality to make it feel like you could really be there.” - Ryan N. “Jeff J. Peters definitely has storytelling skills...The story stayed on my mind when I wasn’t reading it. Young readers will be drawn in this imaginative story, while they relate to Braxton’s struggles with temper, insecurity, and young love. Cathadeus is dramatic, with an anxious tone—at times bleak, as the story keeps you wondering until the final battle if good will prevail.” - Elizabeth C.

The artwork reminds of ancient Greek myths. Was that your inspiration or something else? 1/17/2018 10:43:55 pm
Hi Melissa. Thanks very much for the question. I never really looked at other cultures when coming up with the design. Instead, I focused on the scene in the book this represents, and then worked closely with a graphic artist to come up with the image. He actually drew this from scratch rather than using any pre-existing clipart or stock photography, so it was custom developed specifically for the book. I’m thrilled with the result and have received a lot of great feedback about it. Hope you like it too. By the way, if you’d like to see more work by the artist there are additional images inspired by the story on my website, and a link to his artist page that you can follow as well. Here’s the blog post www.jeffjpeters.com/cover-reveal/. Thanks again for the great question. Leave a Reply. |
