Shepherd is British, and known as a collector of Stoker's original works and other works on vampires. I've not tracked down anything additional.

I found this brief bio on "Rowena": Rowena Morrill, better known as Rowena, is one of the top cover illustrators in science fiction and fantasy. Her incredible body of work includes over 300 book covers. Rowena began her career in New York City where she lived for sixteen years. She presently lives in upstate New York gaining creative inspiration from the beautiful countryside. I found her web site here: http://www.rowenaart.com/
