Unlike most of the heroes in Romanceland, Daniel, the hero of Degree of Solitude, is a scarred “monster” that hides away in the wilds of Wales.
When I explained his general appearance to Dar Albert, the cover artist who designs nearly all my covers, I knew it would be a challenge to make him both hideous and sympathetic at the same time. Her solution was brilliant. She didn’t show his face at all.
This fits in perfectly with the story, too, for Daniel spends most of his time avoiding everyone, including Catrin, the heroine.
Check out the except, which you will find here, and you’ll understand what I mean.
___
The man she once loved is now a monster she doesn’t know.
Catrin and Daniel love each other, but Daniel refused to further their relationship for fear of curtailing Catrin’s intellectual and personal freedom, and dooming her to a life of domestic servitude as his wife. Yet their lives remain entangled.
When Daniel is shot in the face during a family rescue in Algeria, he brutally severs the ties between them and removes himself to a remote village in Pembrokeshire, Wales.
Catrin travels to Wales in a last bid to resolve their differences, but the terrifying man she finds there is not the Daniel she once knew…
