Introducing James T. Egan of Bookfly Design, the New Cover Artist for The Cain Series

February 20, 2026

With the new year comes a new cover artist for The Cain Series: James T. Egan of Bookfly Design.  James has over eighteen years’ experience in the business and has created many wonderful book covers—just check out his gallery and you’ll see.  His grasp of the darker subject matter in The Cain Series comes through in book 4’s new cover; take a look:

And in our rapidly enshitifying world, it is also a great comfort to know—for me and, I know, for the vast majority of readers—that James does not us so-called “AI” in the production of his covers.  Just like the text inside, his covers are 100% handmade, human artistry.

The new cover for The Fall is now live in all formats, but that is the only thing that has changed about them.  If you happened to have picked up the older version, well, you now own something of a curiosity; but don’t worry about buying a new copy, because the text inside has not changed.

That’s it for now.  In a few weeks I’ll have an announcement for book 5 in The Cain Series as well as news on cycle 2.
