Description
Cover art for my current book. I like to do the art while I'm researching, organizing and making notes that turn into my basic outline. It's going to be done as Ebook/POD, my first time. One of the big problems people have mentioned is that Ebook covers are usually rather bad. So please feel free to tell me how you feel about this art. It's my first time painting with a Wacom tablet. It also taught me, the hard way, that parody is far harder to do than straight.
M Ebook publisher may decide to publish this. She's reorganizing the company at the moment, but I have a year of writing ahead of me, so by that time it will be copacetic. I'll be happy if she does, because trying to format the Manuscript to make an ebook is just confusing the dickens out of me, what with creating headers, columns, sidebars in text boxes and the like. It's all new to me. I felt like this particular book had a chance to sell far better than if I had gone with a traditional publisher. I could have sold the book to a publisher. It's a popular subject and lots of competition. It was that competition that convinced me that doing this as an Ebook allowed me to make it stand out from the rest. Both because I could design the book exactly as I wanted to, and because I can afford to sell it for far less than a traditional publisher would.
I'm not looking to make bags of money here. What I hope for is to have it become one of the standard reference volumes in the field. That would please me.
I think my next project will be a cookbook I've thought about for years.

This is so cool. Nicely done.

WOW! This is really clever stuff. Nice touch with the unrelated lake monster attacking one of the beauties on the shore. Nothing like an add on menace in a rubber suit as a cheap plot device. Remember the giant spider from 'King Solomon's Mines'? Of coarse not, no one does. Just be sure that the production values of the film come nowhere close to what is implied by the artwork. It wouldn't be a 'B' movie otherwise. Excellent job.
