A Word to the Wise
Warning: Kind of ranty. I'll try to make it fun.
Was it two years ago that I made a post about reviews? Yes, I think it was. Essentially, it said "go ahead, look at your reviews only if you can handle it."
As we've seen time and time again, some people just cannot handle it. That's okay. It's not COMPLETELY TOTALLY NECESSARY for you to read your reviews.
Authors, I'll say that again: IT'S NOT COMPLETELY TOTALLY NECESSARY FOR YOU TO READ REVIEWS!
Everyone gets bad reviews. It's been going on for y...

Wintertime... Can I just hibernate please?
Yes, in an attempt to write about other things than "OMG here's my next book", today I'll be making a post about winter.
In the most simplest statement: This winter fucking sucks!
There, said it. It's cold here in Nebraska. Nope, not snowing. Just cold. Cold, fucking cold... Oh and windy. Might as well have a tornado cause that's how windy it's been. If it's not cold, it's windy. Where's our snow? Over on the east coast. You guys can send some this way any day, please. I know, I know, you can't...

Mucking Around in Photoshop - Text Styles and Effects
I love playing around in Photoshop. I'm not a guru, or an expert, but self-trained with tips and tricks by my live in boyfriend. Every now and then, I get a wild hair to play with cover art. Sometimes I go basic and sometimes I want specific details.
One thing I've been playing with is text styles and effects. I was inspired by Jordan Castillo Price and his use of text styles for cover art. We don't see this often in book covers, lately. Most titles are somewhat basic, using simple gradient ov...
