Raleigh, NC (OPENPRESS) August 22, 2010 -- Narrow Path Publishing announced earlier today that its latest offering, Shades of Gay, will feature the cover art of local artist D Gavi Chayim. Chayim, who is Transgender and living openly as a woman, will also contribute an afterword to the novel about her previous struggle with suicide.

Chayim was chosen to do the cover "both because of her experience with the subject matter and the quality of her previous work," according to Stephanie Silberstein, the writer of Shades of Gay and owner of Narrow Path Publishing. Chayim designed the cover for Silberstein's debut novel, Winter's Silence, in 2008.
