Here is the cover image for my new book. I’m told the text could possible change for the final, but this is the image we’re going with. As my editor said, “There are so many layers of meaning in a relatively simple image.” If you read the book, I’m sure you’ll agree. As with the cover for my first book, simple seems to work well for the right kind of book.

/ April 27, 2013Looks great. Seems to fit title in an enchanting way. I am going to publish my own cartoon books through local printer. My covers were made by myself with drawing and keyboard typing and cut pasted paper and looks kinda primitive but the hand drawn homemade look is my appeal according to many.

/ April 27, 2013Hi, Laura: I’m sure what I expected, but it was a lady on the cover. I guess what I was thinking was like something flying, or flying because of a broken wing. Anyway I’m not a writer so what do I know…..LOL But, of course, I will still be waiting to buy one to see what your twisted mind has come up with this time….Your going to have to come up with something great to beat your last book….I really can’t wait to read it…..And you know that I wish you all the best with this one…..

/ May 1, 2013looks good to me. I like the author name is smaller than the title. that used to be the way it was. now the author’s name is so huge on the cover, I often missed the title, sometimes even misread them.
wishing you lots of success with this one. have a sweet day.
