Well, this is an exciting time! Cover is complete. My story is with my editor for final read through. Then, formatting and good to go.
It was about 15months ago that I posted my first piece in Crits - slammed...telling, telling telling. I've put many more bits of my book up and tried to learn from the replies. Brian has nearly always given me his thoughts. Thanks to him and everyone else.
I've lurked about the site in awe of the very clever people on here, always questioning my own abilities - or lack of.
I'm proud of my cover. I think I got Tom Edwards out of his comfort zone - and to great effect. I sketched out what I wanted (slightly better than one of Ralph Kerns sketches...but only just) and told him I wanted 'threat from afar'.
My editor donated her services to Tom's charity night and I was the lucky bidder. So, having paid her nothing, I'm really happy she likes my book.
I hope you like the cover - aiming for YA.
