We are thrilled to reveal the cover for ‘Wave 2: The Sequel’. After a wait of twenty years, this book will follow Wil’s hit 2005 novel ‘Wave’. In spite of a bankrupt distributor and no marketing budget, ‘Wave’ sold through its first printing in less than six weeks, making it the subject of a national news article that ran on Yahoo! and Bloomberg Newswire. It then won the New Jersey Notable Book Award, after which NYC powerhouse publisher Macmillan purchased the rights to both the softcover and eBook.

Interestingly, the sequel’s cover design is based on that of the first book, with some minor differences symbolic to the story. The photo of the Barnegat Lighthouse with scaffolding, for example, was inspired by a photo taken by Wil during an a repainting of the lighthouse several years ago. The actual lighthouse photo used on the cover was taken by Lori Nichols for NJ Advance Media for an article that ran on NJ.com (and has been used with permission, of course). And the quote at the top of the cover comes from Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter Robbie Dupree, a longtime friend of Wil’s known for such classic radio hits as ‘Steal Away’ and ‘Hot Rod Hearts’.
