Ander Plana, the artist responsible for the excellent new cover gracing Operation Arrowhead has now provided me with a cover for my pastiche Swords & Sorcery short story, NANOK and the Tower of Sorrows.
Although it was a ton of fun to write, and I think it's a great read for fans of Sword & Sorcery-style fantasy fiction, NANOK hasn't been selling very well, so I decided to make the investment and get a new cover. I think Ander's creation is pretty damn awesome - true to the classic pulp fantasy cover feel, but with a more modern styling. I think he also does a good job of making the cover unique while tying it in to the general layout seen in my Commando covers.
If you have a chance, head over to DeviantArt.com and check out Ander's work - some great stuff (and I'm not just saying that because my commissioned works are there.

Looks great, Jack.
Nice cover! It looks like those Fighting Fantasy gamebooks from the 80s.
Thanks guys, I'm really happy with it. Ander sent me a "portrait" of sone of Draaa'kon's mutant henchmen last night. I'll have to post it sometime soon...
Now that's a sword & sorcery cover!
