The L’il Sis and Nooj book cover…movement, music and history in motion.

With the official release of L’il Sis and Nooj coming this week I’ve been thinking a lot about the book’s cover—and honestly, I love it more every time I look at it.

This is the fourth book I’ve published - the first three covers were designed by the small presses that published those books. I’ve liked all of them to varying degrees. If I had to rank them, I’d probably say Singer’s Circle has been my favourite cover—until now.

The L’il Sis and Nooj cover has taken that spot.

For years, my wife Kim suggested that I ask our friend Bob Coady if he’d be interested in creating a cover for one of my books. Kim worked with Bob years ago when he ran Shoreline Graphics, and we’ve stayed connected over the years. I always admired him, but I felt a little awkward asking. This wasn’t exactly a lucrative project. The ebook version of L'il Sis and Nooj is being released on a pay-what-you-want basis, and there was never any expectation that anyone involved would make much money from it.

​Still, when I finally asked, Bob immediately said yes.
