  6. Working on cover art for The Silent Bell, the first in my cozy Arthurian mystery series. The image centers on a huge bronze bell suspended above a well, with Oxford visible in the background. The aesthetic I want is woodcut meets Tarot card, something that feels old and symbolic rather than photographic.

    There are alchemical symbols in the four corners that point toward a major subplot.
