My latest book, Four Blades of Ruin, is another series of stories of Robert E. Howard's heroes, Conan, Kull, Bran Mak Morn, and Solomon Kane.
The book is available in a graphic edition with AI cover art and interior graphics.
Some readers do not like AI graphics, so I released another version with no AI.
This is a cover for the non-graphic edition.
I was not certain what I wanted to use for the cover of the non-graphic edition, but one day, on my walk, I thought of the weapons I had, some of which were tucked away in the crawlspace. So I dug them out and started arranging them on a tartan towel I had bought at a Scottish shop in Stratford, Ontario, years ago. I took the picture myself.
Some of those weapons I have had since the 70s. The battle axe and mace I made in a tool shop when I was an apprentice. I actually have two Kukri blades, but I only used one in the picture. I bought the Kukris at a gift shop in Sauble Beach, also in the 70s. Everything else I acquired later, one piece at a time. The cloth with all the folds is a piece my wife uses as the Christmas tree skirt. I used it to cover up the carpet and the sofa.
