¡Buenas buenas!
Hace un par de días desempolvé mis archivos y encontré la portada original de Silencio, y hoy
quiero compartir una que seguramente alguno que otro lector si pudo llegar a
ver. Estoy seguro incluso de que está sepultada en mi Instagram, en un rincón.
Es la portada original de Reflejos.
Contrario a Just…, Reflejos es una novela que no
tenía planeada, que ni siquiera sabía que llegaría a escribir, pero cuando vi
que esa portada estaba disponible en un grupo, diseñada ni más ni menos por
NATALIA HATT (háganse un favor y LEAN SUS LIBROS), todo el concepto apareció en
mi cabeza: Una princesa dormida, su alma atrapada en un mundo oscuro, la escena
en donde inicia la historia…
Hello hello!
A couple of days ago I dusted my files and found Silence's original cover, and today I want to share one that surely some other reader could see. I am sure even that it is buried in my Instagram, in a corner. It's the original cover of Reflections.
Contrary to Just..., Reflections is a novel that I didn't have planned, that I didn't even know I would write, but when I saw that cover was available in a group, designed neither more nor less by NATALIA HATT (do yourself a favor and READ HER BOOKS), the whole concept appeared in my head: A sleeping princess, her soul trapped in a dark world, the scene where the story begins ...

Inmediatamente la pedí y empecé a escribir lo primeros
capítulos, y aunque la historia quedó archivada por muchísimo tiempo, Alynne
Briar-Rose pedía a gritos que la recuperara y así lo hice. Sin embargo,
conforme avanzaba, la trama se tornaba sanguinaria, oscura, y la portada,
aunque elegante, dejó de representar la esencia de los personajes, aunque ese
aire de fantasía está allí sin dudas.
Tomé una imagen surrealista que representaba lo que quería,
aunque aún le faltaba algo, pero se asemejaba más a lo que estaba explorando.
La bailarina en el umbral me recordaba mucho a mi Bella Durmiente, y cómo Reflejos es una metáfora de la depresión
crónica (léela entre líneas y te darás cuenta).
I immediately asked for it and began to write the first chapters, and although the story was archived for a very long time, Alynne Briar-Rose shouted for me to recover it and so I did so. However, as it progressed, the plot became bloodthirsty, dark, and the cover, although elegant, ceased to represent the essence of the characters, although that fantasy air is there without a doubt.
I took a surreal image that represented what I wanted, although something was still missing, but it was more like what I was exploring. The dancer in the doorway reminded me a lot of my Sleeping Beauty, and how Reflections is a metaphor for chronic depression (read it between the lines and you'll notice).

Finalmente, Johana Calderón devoró la historia semana tras
semana mientras la publicaba en español, y me dio la portada que conservo hasta
ahora. ¡Un cambio total! Tiene la elegancia de la primera, lo surreal de la
segunda, la oscuridad que amerita y una rosa blanca que me encanta, un elemento
importante en Reflejos.
¿Qué dices? ¿Cuál de las tres portadas te llama
la atención? Puedes leer Reflejos en Wattpad, Sweek y Litnet.
Finally, Johana Calderón devoured the story week after week while publishing it in Spanish, and gave me the cover that I have kept until now. A total change! It has the elegance of the first, the surreal of the second, the darkness that deserves and a white rose that I love, an important element in Reflections.
What do you say? Which of the three covers catches your attention? You can read Reflections in Wattpad, Sweek and Litnet.
