Finding Henry Applebee is a charming and uplifting story about unlikely friendships, the power of love, and how it’s never too late to change your life. It follows eighty-five-year-old Henry Arthur Applebee as he boards a train from London to Edinburgh, on a mission to find the woman who escaped his life decades earlier.

As this title was published initially as an e-book, I had to ensure that my designs were legible, clear, and eye-catching at thumbnail size. In terms of narrative, the brief was fairly open. It asked for the cover to be ‘emotional and uplifting’, while at the same time communicating a life-changing journey. I also had to ensure that it appeal to readers of commercial fiction and romance, as well as making it clear the novel has a slight literary leaning, too.
