Fleck Series Summation

Years ago, my friend Hazel suggested that the possibility for redemption is a key aspect of what it is to be human.  Her devotion to that concept settled deep in my awareness and sprouted during the flow writing process – blooming as a focal concept in the Fleck series.

I’ve heard it said that a writer should be able to explain their writing in a simple statement.  If I had to describe the Fleck series in two words, those words would be leadership and redemption.

Once the Fleck series was written, I had a little trouble securing an artist to create the covers for the novels. The solution I found was to learn the rudimental elements of Adobe Illustrator so that I could create the, admittedly simple, covers myself. The swirls represent the concept of magic.  I chose the primary colours red-blue-yellow for the covers and focused on the Fleck image.

It’s a bit of fun to consider the images across the series – and pose the question: Is Fleck getting smaller or is her world getting bigger?
