Sneak peek of Hand of Glory cover.

Fine to repost it here? :)

Ooh, very reminiscent of Paul Nash with those fractured lines.

You spotted it! Taken a while to get this sorted out. :D So many ideas, but in the end the style and harsh lines fit the story far better than any other art, or even photos.
 
Great cover.

It's actually "La Mitrailleuse" by Christopher Richard Wynne Nevison.

Fantasy connection, possibly: the soldier on the left looks very similar to some of artist Ian Miller's orcs, and I wonder if he was inspired by it.

You are correct, HereBrain. I knew both the work of Nevison and Nash were being considered, and wrongly assumed it was by Nash. Same school I believe and painting at the same time.

That's a super cover.
Susan, your author name is small. Too small…?

Not my call, Stephen.

Bugger, I should have known that. It's actually one of the illustrations in a book of WWI poetry I've got. (Though the colours are considerably more subdued in the book.) There's a detail of his Troops Resting, too, which has exactly the same feel and style. Anyway, good find!
 
Just received this from Penmore Press. Final version.
AND, big announcement coming soon......
