SEAL COVE COVER REVEAL

by | Jun 23, 2020 | Author's Blog

For the past couple of years I’ve been working on an ensemble piece set in the small coastal town of Seal Cove in Northern California. Seal Cove is a fictionalized version of Moss Beach, where I’ve lived most of my life, combined with neighboring Princeton by the Sea at Pillar Point Harbor, and perhaps a few touches of Del Mar, where I grew up. I’ve lived all but a couple of years in seaside towns and have never used it as a setting for fiction (save for an unpublished novel called Fog Beach). Seal Cove is about life and death and aspirations and disappointments, expectations, surprises, hope and discovery. It’s about the people who live here, or might have lived here. They’re a nice group of people trying to find their way through life. Here is a picture of the real Seal Cove:

And here’s a peek at the cover design for The Seal Cove Theoretical Society:

The cover illustration, “The Celestial Sea,” is by the illustrious Debbie Mumm.
