A New Book Cover!

I am delighted to post my new book cover from Five Star. "Burnt Siena" takes place in Siena, Italy. There was some debate (mostly on my part) whether the title should be "Burnt Siena" after the city or "Burnt Sienna" after the painting pigment. As you will see, "Siena" won, and I am pleased because the cover captures both meanings: my favorite city on earth, and the warm brown tones of much of the architecture there.

This will be the first of a new series, the Flora Garibaldi Art History Mysteries. Flora, a paintings conservator, uses many traditional pigments in her restoration work.
