Reluctant Jamette- Cover Art Front and Back

Art post #1 || Art post #2 || Here || Art post #4

This was part of my final assignment for the writing course I took in 2022.

The project was a book framework where we did a basic outline for a story. We had to outline a whole book, from the copyright page to acknowledgements and all.

It was quite helpful actually! I would have never thought to do something like that in the planning stages.

This was for my potential novel-length story called 'Reluctant Jamette'. It's about a young woman unwillingly given these demonic powers around the same time her part of the country is being attacked by these spirits called jumbies.

She and a sort of friend are trying to figure out how to get rid of the powers and end up uncovering their sinister origins.

WhOooOOOoOoOo!

Read the summary of my potential story below:

‘Shrouded in black and clownish adornment 

Her new normal she found abhorrent 

Pulled away from her mundane life 

She is forced to battle with demons that were not hers to fight’

Jumbies, mischievous and malevolent spirits have been plaguing East Trinidad for months and Twenty-three-year-old Tamika Ramsahai was the one chosen by a mysterious power to unwillingly defend against their attacks.

Not interested in protecting a public that scorns her at every turn, Tamika’s goal is to find a way to get rid of the powers once and for all. 

Through battling jumbies that carry cryptic messages and her co-worker who knows a little too much about her situation for her own good, Tamika starts to realise that these powers may have a darker intent behind them.
