I originally got the idea to write "Fairyland Detectives" after reading "Who Censored Roger Rabbit" by Gary Wolf. I had already written a Fairyland story earlier and thought it would be fun to actually make a serious crime story set in a world that was imaginary. It was fun to write but the real challenge was making the cover.
The guy on the right is yours truly. The one next to me is my friend Shawn O'Toole who is also an outstanding writer. (That is not a real beard by the way.) We actually did use a green screen for the shot and took our pictures separately. We are not actually standing next to one another. (The guns in both of our hands are actually the same gun.)
We gave the finished image to my friend and illustrator Coy Field II and he drew the background and made it look like we were standing around a bunch of cute, cartoony animals in a magical land. The final project is a surprisingly nice effect! It is one of my favorite covers of all of my books, and the story is a fun ride too. If you are a fan of the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," this is a great story to read, but be prepared for some hard knocks along the way.
