30 Covers, 30 Days: Day 8

Every November, during National Novel Writing Month, thirty professional designers volunteer to create book cover art inspired by novels being written by aspiring authors from around the globe. Why? To encourage new, diverse voices, and help build a more creative world.

30 Covers, 30 Days is presented in partnership with designer and author Debbie Millman. Read more about these NaNoWriMo 2018 novels-in-progress, and the cover designers, below.

Red Riding, P.I.

A Mystery novel being written this November by NaNo participant J. Monsen in the United States.

Life is never dull for a private detective in the city; not when a vampire staked in the back, a fairy kidnapping, and a mysterious glass shoe all add up to just another Monday. But lately, Red Riding has found the gumshoe business a little harder than usual; like someone's painted a target onto the back of her trench coat. Maybe it's the organized crime racket that's been hot on her heels, or the politicians cracking down on innocent Spooks. Maybe it's the handsome professor with a bad attitude and suspiciously good aim. Or maybe it's Red's own secrets finally catching up to her, like the transformation every full moon that she can't escape. Or maybe it's just bad luck and a big mouth. One thing's for sure, if Red wants to survive solving mysteries in the Big Bad City, she's got her work cut out for her.

Cover designer Kevin Perry shared what Red Riding, P.I. would look like as a physical book:

Stay tuned for new covers every day of the month!
