The Advent (also known as Passion Forsaken) has a
long and varied book cover
history.
The first book in the Collective Obsessions Saga began
with the following cover (my design) back in 2001:
Followed by the professional rendering undertaken by my first publisher
Tyborne Hill in 2003:
My working cover for "Passion Forsaken" after Tyborne Hill closed (which was
tentatively renamed "The Advent"):
The cover designed by
Club Lighthouse
Publishing:
The current e-book cover:
And, finally, the new paperback cover:
Needless to say, the first two renderings were issued long before I decided to
write the Collective Obsessions Saga using the pseudonym
Deidre Dalton.
My preference? It's a toss-up between the fourth design and
the current paperback cover. I like them both.

Note
from Deidre:
Quite frankly, I've always disliked the title
"Passion Forsaken." However, through various publishers over the years, the
moniker was beyond my control. The book is not a steamy romance in typical
Harlequin fashion, nor is it a fluffy piece about unrequited love. The story
actually launches the Collective Obsessions Saga, an
nine-part series which follows two Irish families from their arrival in America
to the present day. The books weave through more than one hundred forty years of
fictional family history filled with avarice, madness, murder, mystery,
paranormal activity, romance, self-indulgence and macabre Gothicism. It's hardly
light reading.
