Even before you immerse yourself in Sherlock Holmes: The Southwark Stigmata, you'll thrill to the book's lovingly rendered cover art--the work of our friend, the talented Jeffrey Ray Hayes, who's a Holmes fan in his own right. From the get-go, Jeff's cover was more than an indication of what readers would find in the book; it was an inspiration to Chris and to me to write the very best tale we're capable of.

“Jeffrey Hayes's cover/poster art for my book series, SNOW is absolutely breathtaking. It has already garnered a great deal of interest from fans of the series as well as those who are learning about the book series now after seeing Jeffrey Hayes' art plastered all over social media and conventions around the country. Jeffrey Hayes gave me everything I wanted in this image and even a few extras that made it explode to a higher level and improved the story as I worked to fit the action of these new images into the story. He is a true collaborator in this project, and I can't wait to see this cover sitting on bookstore shelves. If you're looking for cover, poster, or box art, Jeffrey Hayes gets the highest of recommendations.”

“The covers adorning two-fisted, double-barreled action and adventure also have to tell a story all by themselves. It reaches out and takes hold of a reader by the imagination and doesn’t let go. And Jeff Hayes understands that better than nearly any other cover artist I’ve ever known.”
– Tommy Hancock, Author / Publisher

"Jeff dove right into a three-book project of mine with gusto and his energy shows in everything he did. He completely understood the characters and situations because he cares enough about his work to go the extra mile and read the actual books he's covering. In all, I wouldn't hesitate to use him again--he's good people and I enjoyed working with him."
– Jim Beard, Author

“From the moment I saw samples of Jeffrey Hayes’ book cover art for the very first time, I knew that I wanted him to create the covers for my novels. Jeff’s art is both rich in its color schemes and creative in its presentation, and Jeff doesn’t just take the basics of the story and run with them. He takes the time to collaborate with the author, listening to the author’s ideas as well as offering insights of his own so that the final art captures the overall “mood” of the story and its characters and draws in the readers’ eyes.”
