There are going to be some free promotions on Amazon next week that I thought you should know about.

Firstly, as revealed in my interview with the lovely, Tasha Harrison, last week, her book, Pearls will be free to download on 13th & 14th February.



Here's a link that should take you to your local Amazon store: viewBook.at/B00A8RJE8O

The next free download is of a newly released book. J. Michael Radcliffe has just published the third book in his 'Beyond the Veil' fantasy series: Rise of the Shadow




This one will be free to download on the 14th- 16th February. Here's the link you need: viewBook.at/B00B923LN6


Once Upon Another Time by Rose McQuestion will be free between 12th and 14th February: viewBook.at/B00AEGD70A This is one that I haven't read, but have been told it's very good.



Another one I haven't read yet, The Gay Mardi Gras Murders, by Sylvia Massara, will be free on Amazon Kindle on 11th and 12th February. Here's the link: viewBook.at/B00BBS2R88



Enjoy!

If you're an author with a free promo next week, or if you've heard about a free book, you're welcome to post about it in the comments section below :)

One of my favourite parts of self-publishing my books is choosing the right cover. In the past I have used my own artwork, or photographs that have caught my eye in some way.

For me, the important thing is that the cover should reflect what is inside the book. I love art and I've always liked browsing bookstores just to look at the book covers. Some of them are very eye-catching and I've sometimes bought a book just because I like the cover so much!

I thought it would be nice as an end of year list to choose my favourite book covers of 2013.

I'm going to include the covers of my books, Delusion and Dreams, and 3, both of which were published this year. I love the photographs on the covers.

Here are my favourites from this year. (I'd also be interested in hearing about yours, so if you have any favourites, please comment with a link so we can all see!)
