![In the Blood - Hantz[1]](http://www.melissacwalker.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/In-the-Blood-Hantz1.jpg)
Sara Hantz was here in 2008 to share the original cherry cover of her debut, The Second Virginity of Suzy Green. She’s back with a very different book and a very different cover.
In the Blood is the story of Jed Franklin, who has a normal life until his 17th year, the year when his father is charged with the abuse and murder of four young boys… and normal becomes a nightmare.
Here’s Sara with thoughts on the cover:
“My publisher sends out a cover art form, though my input wasn’t very useful as I couldn’t think of anything other than I don’t like cartoon characters! I’m not a very visual person.
“When I first saw my cover, it brought tears to my eyes–it made me so happy. It was better than anything I could have imagined. I love the newspaper headlines on the body of the guy and also how dark and brooding he is.”
Thanks, Sara! The shadow of the newsprint is my favorite part–so cool.
