Today I am so pleased to welcome Sebastian Nothwell to Joyfully Jay. Sebastian has come to share an exclusive cover reveal for Throw His Heart Over, the follow up to Mr Warren’s Profession, releasing on February 14th.
Sebastian has also brought some iterations of the cover, including a black and white painting and an animated gif showing the iteration of cover design by Madison Coyne (https://www.madisoncoyne.net/)
Blurb
Sir Lindsey Althorp, spectacularly wealthy baronet, has sat in the saddle since the day he was breeched.
Aubrey Warren, threadbare telegraph boy turned engineer, has never ridden a horse in his life and had no intention of starting—until now.
When a portrait-painting holiday in the country provides an opportunity for riding, Lindsey is eager to teach Aubrey the ropes. Aubrey works to overcome his well-founded caution regarding large beasts of burden. Harder to dispel are his insecurities about his scarred body in the wake of the Rook Mill boiler explosion—particularly as these scars are put on display to model for the painting Icarus Fallen.
As the painting progresses, so do the riding lessons, until a potentially deadly accident may put a stop to both for good.

Seeing the art progression in the animated gif is very cool. Thank you for sharing that and for the giveaway
I have the first book, but I haven’t read it yet.
I’m looking forward to reading this as I really enjoyed Mr Warren’s Profession. The cover is rather appealing and it’s interesting to see how it came about.
Thank you for sharing the design stages for your book, it was very interesting watching the animation of the graphics, and for giving us a chance of winning copies
Thank you for sharing this. It’s always so interesting to see all the work that goes into creating each part of the book.
I enjoy this type of story but must first go with the first book
Thank you for the post. It’s very cool to see how the cover started off as a sketch and became what it is after.
That’s beautiful cover. Congratulations!
I enjoyed seeing how the black and white drawings turned into a beautiful cover. 🙂
I thought that the cover of the first book was eye-catching, but I like this cover even better.
Welcome, Sebastian! Thanks for sharing the development of your cover; it’s fun to learn what goes on behind the scenes.
Sounds like a great series!
I really enoyed the first book and look forward to reading Throw His Heart Over.
