Suellen offered to create another image, including one with the same model but eventually the parties could not come to an agreement.
The artist refused because the cover art had already been used on a book and she didn’t think it was right for the same cover art to grace more than one book. The company offered her 4,000 dollars (a very normal value offered for cover art) but knew that the art had been sold to another author. The license was sold to Rigel and Rigel used it on her book “Spiderwork.” HarperCollins contacted the artist in May 2011. In an email, Nathalie Suellen, the artist, shared she was originally contacted by writer LK Rigel about the license for Suellen’s original artwork ‘City of Angels’ which was created in 2009. (Updated: the cover art for Bewitching will now be changed) So gorgeous that HarperCollins contacted the artist to purchase it from her.
