Left: Closeup detail of two<br />
of the three book covers.<br />
Quotes from noted<br />
feminists and modern-day<br />
writers offer a counter to<br />
the otherwise confusing,<br />
sexually-charged imagery.<br />
Allusions within the<br />
subtitles offer additional<br />
support for the earth-firewater<br />
theme.<br />
<strong>Book</strong> Cover Design: Trilogy<br />
“<strong>Those</strong> <strong>Savage</strong> <strong>Beasts</strong>” is a completely fictional series<br />
birthed from the prompt, “Use the elements of earth,<br />
water and fire... Somehow.”<br />
In keeping with the mystery of a typical suspense-thriller,<br />
those three elements are present throughout the design,<br />
yet in a more subtle interpretation. Even down to the body<br />
copy summaries, quotes, subtitles and about-the-author<br />
sections, the attention to detail continues that intrigue,<br />
and grabs viewers willing enough to read the fine print and<br />
examine the clues...<br />
LOIS KAMANDULIS
ONCE UPON A TIME…<br />
There was a prompt within<br />
a class with a wildly loose<br />
interpretation...<br />
The elements of earth, water<br />
and fire are all present within<br />
this fictional 3-book series, yet<br />
play out in indirect ways.<br />

with expert timing and delightful fervor.<br />

GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS<br />
“Enraging and enlivening, Rye is a powerhouse<br />

Ali Robinson – A 22-year<br />
old night-worker off the<br />
Las Vegas Strip. A recurring<br />
dream about a onetime<br />
customer from St.<br />
Louis re-wires her brain<br />
into noticing only the<br />
lurid details of each of<br />
her nightly transactions.<br />
It’s not until she awakens<br />
from a two-week coma<br />
that she starts to piece<br />
together the full extent of<br />
her abuse from a particularly<br />
depraved customer.<br />

of seemingly standalone<br />
events, yet unveils its<br />
larger arc through ravaged<br />
characters whose<br />
destinies are inextricable<br />
from one another - and<br />
perhaps even from the<br />
reader herself...<br />

ABOUT THE<br />
DESIGNER<br />
Someday, Lois Kamandulis will be as cool as she<br />
once was in this image. Until then, she likes to<br />
cook and eat Korean and other ethnic foods,<br />
sleep, and watch magic tricks performed by her husband,<br />
Jimmy.<br />
Her past lives include teaching 1st grade, 2nd grade and<br />
elementary art in the Mississippi Delta, teaching English<br />
in Madrid and hanging out with Tibetan monks through<br />
a study-abroad program in Nepal.<br />
She loves art and laughing at her own jokes, and often<br />
gifts the book, “The Alchemist,” while encouraging all to<br />
go after their own personal treasures.<br />
Her celebrity crushes include the Dalai Lama and<br />
Archbishop Desmond Tutu.<br />
