The Challenge
Drawing inspiration from Flashdance, a movie frequently referenced in the book, I created a striking cover to set the story’s ambiance. An electric guitar was incorporated into the heels of 6-inch stilettos to emphasize Aimee’s struggle with rock music and rowdy clubs. The 292-page book was designed as a hardcover, softcover, and e-book, and will be released on Amazon in August 2024.
