The Romeo and Juliet Code is the story of a young English girl who is sent to live with her American relatives in Maine during World War II. It's a story with a little romance and a lot of mystery.

The cover is a photograph from Kate Powers Photography and although it has a very modern tone, I enjoyed trying to evoke the historical aspects of this book with the bottle cap type treatment and a polka-dotted book jacket and case.  

Romeo Blue is the sequel to The Romeo and Juliet Code, and for this cover I wanted to keep the summery and playful feel of the first book. This cover is composed of photos from Kenji Iwai for Getty and EasyBuy4u for iStockphoto.

I love the overall look of the jacket so much that I wanted to include that here too! Making a jacket that adds to the story and really plays up elements from the cover is one of my favorite things to do.
