Designs for Ray's Book Covers

The designs for my book covers \'Coup de Grace\' and \'Coup de Grace In Three Acts\' are both based on a WWII German Army recruiting poster. Because the books concern Resistance and Collaboration during the dark years of the Nazi Occupation of France, I introduced images of the Tricolour with De Gaulle\'s Cross of Lorraine to represent the French Underground movements - and the SS runes as a symbol of the Das Reich division which also plays a part in the book.
Please note that these books are not for everyone. Why?
Please see why in the explanation in my October 2009 posting on my Blog, via the \'Links\' on the menu at the left of this page. Then click on second link: Learn to Paint and Draw Blog.
