Olivier comments:

I love McCammon too. Very good novelist.

So, being comissioned for that cover was a very good surprise. But it was a little bit frustrating : because of a mad dead line it was impossible to read the novel before to make the picture... The editor told me the story on the phone.

Very strange situation because it was the first time I make a cover for one of my favorite writers, and it was the first time I didn't read the book before to make a cover...:frustrated:

But it's one of my favorite moment in that job !
