Talking covers with Brent Hartinger
Tweet Today we’re lucky enough to have Brent Hartinger, author of Shadow Walkers, here to share a bit about his cover process and his input!

Let’s see what she has to say shall we? ********** I have many wonderful memories of books from when I was young, because my childhood was full of them.
