Night Calls in eBook Revealed....

So, bowing to the professional knowledge of friends, we are having a cover change. The last one--this is my promotional budget. Instead of PR, we get new covers. Mitch Bentley, Atomic Fly Studios, and I would like to introduce you to the ebook cover for Night Calls. Mitch has Life, Interrupted this week, but will soon be back on the wraparound cover for the print edition of Night Calls (yes, she's holding a lantern, hence the light!) and the ebook cover for Kindred Rites. I hope you like it. The art will stay--Mitch may mess with the fonts more as he finalizes the wraparound.

This is the stab to make Alfreda very share-able. I'll be finishing up #3 (if no one else gets ill!) learning MS Office 2010 and also POD this coming month. If this doesn't work? Mundane job, no matter how mundane, and contemporary fantasy...among other things.

Have picked up the Crimson template from Book Design Templates--I'll be using that for Kindred Rites and Alfreda book three. Leah Cutter did the PDF for Night Calls. I will experiment with the finalized WORD document from Book View Cafe. Book Design Templates has a free ebook to help you use their templates, so that will figure into my reading this weekend!

Can Book View Cafe folk drop their Word docs into Book Design Templates with a minimum of fuss? If so, I suspect we will choose a template for a house style and run with it! The great experiment will begin this month, slowed only if I get a mundane job quickly.

The problem of combining file images, Susan--it's what he had that he thought he could make work. I will mention it to him for his choice of the figure for the next two books. I'm kinda at a loss here. I need to attract more (I hope positive) attention for the book. That wasn't happening with the first cover (which I liked a lot, and will use for a short story.)

I don't know if he can tweak it without it costing more than I can afford.

We forget that covers are marketing copy, not illustrations. If I win the MegaMillion tonight, I'll pay for illustrative covers for the other two books! ;^)
