DEATH: The Visuals

I wanted to stop by to share some of the visual inspirations that helped me when I wrote the first draft of my novella.

Of course, the first place I drew inspiration from was the gorgeous cover:

When I saw this cover, she became the main character in my story. It's pretty much stayed the same throughout the entire process. I just love that she looks so vicious and feral, yet also beautiful and even vulnerable. That's certainly the way Lana is too.

I also used this Victoria Frances pic as inspiration for Lana:

I think it's lovely, and Victoria Frances captures a lot of the vampire spirit in her work.

Now, for the hero, this picture is the way that I imagined Hayden:


This is a gorgeous photo of Jared Leto. I felt it captured the look I wanted for Hayden, perfectly! The dark hair, stubble, those gorgeous blue eyes... heck, he's a hottie. This pic was perfect as the inspiration for the hero in my novella!

Well, I hope you all enjoy the pics as much as I did. ;) They provided inspiration during the first draft, and are now doing the same while I'm in the revision process.
