Student chosen for novel cover
MacMasters Beach author Steve Black has chosen identities of the Central Coast, including from the Peninsula, to portray the characters on the cover of his new adventure fantasy novel, Barden's Foe.
The character of Corrie is portrayed by Kai Renshaw, a Year 6 student from Woy Woy.
Black said Renshaw was exactly how he had imagined the character of Corrie when he wrote the book 25 years ago.
"As it turned out, his mother advised me that he was scheduled for a professional modelling photo shoot the next day, so this was the perfect warm up," Mr Black said.
Barden's Foe is an adventure fantasy which Mr Black said would appeal to a wide audience.
The novel follows the land of Barden, a world inhabited by magical creatures, one of which aims to rule Barden and subject its people to his control.
