Cheyenne Madonna

A 1972 Lincoln Continental figures centrally in one of the stories in Chuculate’s first collection of short stories. I found a vintage Lincoln sales brochure on line for the princely sum of $12. The image of the perfectly polished wheel distorted by the printer’s halftone screens captured the hazy sense of memory and longing the infuse the story. The author was unavailable for most of the time I was working on the book, so I had to rely on feedback from his agent and from editor Susan Barba, but I think we made a striking cover.
