At last. It’s here!
How do you like the cover? Send me a comment and let me know.
The new edition of my American historical epic, The Price of Passage. Publication date: Early 2025.
The original edition had a “conceptual” cover showing a railroad track and a chain (to represent slavery) bursting in two. Conceptually, you see, it’s a book about journeys that end in liberation.
But they are journeys of three specific characters: Norwegian immigrants Anders and Maria, and the runaway slave Daniel.
The new cover, by Rony, shows prospecive buyers who this book is about, and the rural setting in which it occurs. We wanted to give readers a clue to what kind of story they would be reading. Hope you like it.
Let me know what you think.

I like this, Larry! It serves the story better than the first cover, I think. Just a gut reaction.
Thanks, John!
Excellent!
Thanks, Cindy!
Love the cover. Perfect.
Thanks, Dee!
Larry,
I like the new cover! It’s more inviting! It should prompt those who judge a book by the cover to by it!
Thanks, David! That’s what I’m hoping.
