J.A. Pitts is an upcoming author with Tor Books. The first book in Pitts’ series will hit bookshelves in summer of 2010. Black Blade Blues is an urban fantasy about a blacksmith in Portland who smiths by day and moonlights as a prop master in the independent movie scene by night. Pretty soon, the blacksmith finds out that a sword she owns may be a very important sword of myth and legend. Then all hell breaks loose. Also, dragons.
The idea with this design was to evoke the feel of the book, which has the blacksmithing elements, as well as a Norse mythology element. The scarred wood is reminiscent of a well-used workbench, and the masthead includes the sword and a blacksmith’s hammer, making the connection very implicit.

Nice job Jeremy! I like the wooden table and the fonts and even the social media icons, all tied in nicely with the theme. BTW, recommended you to some mystery writers, so you may get some business from other genres.
