I've decided on Michael Allen to do the artwork for the book cover and possibly design the book cover as well. He painted the gorgeous artwork below that's physically hanging in our living room. Beautiful, huh?
I am currently working on the 3rd draft of the 1st book. Currently, the 1st book's title is Tangled Strands, but I've a feeling this will be the 2nd book's title. So I still need a book title for Book 1. Four chapters are finished, only 25-26 more to be done.
My editor is Valarie Jones and she's doing a bang-up job on giving me good advice/edits on the drafts, keeping my spirits up, encouraging etc. She'll also be the one prepping the book for Kindle. There's a good chance she will be doing the covers. Alison Blanchard has agreed to do the audiobook, when I'm done with the first book. She now has a copy of the 1st four chapters of the 3rd draft. James Pascoe, a former client of mine, has agreed to do the logo for the whole series. He's now got a copy of the 2nd draft to help him formulate an idea of what to create. All in all, I think things will all come together. |
