I'll Be Leaving You Always - Softcover

For the initial paperback covers of Sandara Scoppettone's Lauren Laurano mysteries, we did photo shoots in locations in and around Greenwich Village. Though they were loads of fun to art direct (MY SWEET UNTRACEABLE YOU was shot on Bleecker Street in the middle of a blizzard, but still the crowds gathered to watch our model private eye lurking round corners), we decided to change directions and go with a brighter more graphic cover rather than the dark, moody look. LET'S FACE THE MUSIC AND DIE turned out great. (With its bright yellow background, you certainly can't miss it on the shelf.) Now I'm working on Sandra Scoppettone's new mystery, GONNA TAKE A HOMICIDAL JOURNEY, which takes place largely outside of New York, on Long Island. This may be the last novel in the Lauren Laurano series, so I want to end it with a BANG!

"The work of a fine writer coming into her own...Laurano is an appealing character whose most natural responses are warmth and humor."
