Thanks, yes I've done all the covers. My favourite is the green one with the moko (Maori tattoo) for Behind the Pain.

Very nice. Did you draw from a model?

No, I used two pictures for reference, then altered things to how I wanted Maia to look. I was considering turning Behind the Hood into a graphic novel when I get some time and need to have a break to do some art. But, those drawings will be in colour. I want to use the black and white ones for a youtube video. I might read out a chapter as I keep getting Americans wanting to hear my accent? Well, if it helps sell the book why not. But, hopefully my accent won't put them off

She certainly looks distinctively Maori.

A NZ friend of mine went to America and had someone say, 'Wow... you... speak... really... GOOD... English!'

(This friend speaks ONLY English!)

I guess it must just sound that foreign to some of them.

Good luck!
