Another Cover by the Author

 
I'm on a roll this weekend. I might even be doing a good job with all this rolling.
 

 
"Waking Up Can Kill You Some Days" – An action/urban fantasy story by David Michael. The Gray Angel is a hitwoman with a heart gold. She always gives the target a choice. Because everyone deserves a choice. Even a petty gangster like Dennis Karnof. (2100-word short story) (FREE on Swashwords, 99-cents on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.)
 
"Waking Up…" is from 2006, and has never been released as an ebook. The other two Gray Angel stories I've written will be released in the near future.
 
I'm having fun with Paint.NET and iStockPhoto. And, yes, with some old short stories. Paint.NET isn't the best graphic tool available, but it's very powerful for the price (free).Plus, the original photo cost me only 5 credits on iStockPhoto ($7.50). So that makes two short story covers this weekend for a total cash outlay of $15 (and a few hours of time). I can work with that.
 
My goal is to keep short story ebook covers as inexpensive as possible. Novels and collections, I don't mind spending more for covers, but short stories just can't carry heavy outlays of cash. I say this because I had actually started hesitating before writing short stories, not wanting to have buy a cover for it when I was done. The best way to get past that, I figured, besides winning the lottery, was to take cover design into my own hands. Thus all my graphic twiddling this weekend.
 
I'm looking forward to writing more short stories. Maybe even more Gray Angel stories.
 
-David
