Paul Young

As is the case now we are often asked by a certain amount of self publishing authors to commission a suitable artist to produce their own covers, and to  re-create their vision for them for the cover in this process.

We are delighted to share one such image -  the author:  Luigi Kohli  commissioned  and entrusted  our very own Paul Young, who is  well known for his historic paintings for both fictional  book covers and factual non fiction books to produce this stunning painting for the cover of the first of a proposed trilogy of books, continuing the story of the Novel Ben Hur by Lew Wallace. This book also includes some  beautiful internal black and white hand drawn and illustrated maps.

The first of the books has now been revealed - and can be pre ordered now from  Aletheia | Troubador Publishing
