My book cover is out
there, and preorders launched on March 1st at Ten16 Press! I attached
the paperback and hardcovers links to my little green link party. Hopefully,
you’ve had time to investigate the revolving door that is my website content.
What have I learned since
signing with Ten16 Press? Publishing a book is not for the squeamish. Writing a
book is the easy part. Last time, I told you I felt like Vincent Van Gogh
before he loped off an ear while creating my forthcoming book jacket copy. Well,
painting my book cover was just as hard. As a kid, I erased holes in my drawing
paper while pursuing perfection. Painting my book cover was no different.
Perfection didn’t happen. But I like how the colorful and comic art reflects my
supernatural story in a far-out way. I mean, who else in the history of book
covers has depicted toilet paper? Perhaps, none. My book isn’t serious, it is
pure entertainment, and my cover reflects that. It represents a chaotic
levitation scene inside the story, and since space plays an important part, I
created an energy loop amidst the stars. I’ve been fascinated with energy
vortices since I saw them inscribed on an ancient rock in Panama. But I’ve seen
them here, in the southwest, too.
Indeed, traveling is a
theme on my blog and in my books. I hope you’ll take a literary journey with me
soon!
My friend Tammie won last
month’s free Conspiracy Theory game by being my first preorder sale. She was
lightning fast. But thanks to everyone who ordered a copy. And thanks to Kate
at Neddy Games for sending 150 bucks worth of free fun!
Now, newsletter subscribers can win
free Conspiracy Theory games by sharing my bookish content on social media. Look
to your inbox for my next newsletter on April 17th.
Stay tuned!
