To Cover or not to Cover...That is the question!
Hello everyone.
I know it's been a while since I actually blogged. But the factor behind that is because I have been busy finishing Boston Blood! Yay for me and everyone else! Nah, truth is its been one hell of a ride. I officially finished the last single sentence of the whole glorious "63000" + characters yesterday! whoop!
Weird stuff aside its time to move onto the most critical part of being an Indie author. So I got the writing right, Check. I have a story I'm happy with, Check. I'm getting it proof read? Check. It's on its third official draft, check. I made my own cover....Yep. I did. You can probably tell its home made. or though on the KDP forums its been getting some rave reviews when i asked them for their opinions. So lucky me...or is i?. No its not lucky me, because frankly i was looking for an excuse to get a "pro" cover done. yeah it would cost me a few hundred but it was accomplish more then my attempt. so finally after much deliberation i did decide to get a pro cover done & I will be showing it off side by side to the old one, and you guys can tell me what you think. No matter what though, I probably will be using the paid cover...it is going to cost me £250. If any one is looking for a good value cover designer then look no further then this guy! http://www.awesomebookcovers.com/ .
So this update is to basically get people up to date on my process so to speak. I will be blogging more on Frank McKenzie and my other works as the weeks continue. You will also get to hear me review some TV shows that I'm watching and Books I'm reading. Might as well make this blog a bit more fun and out going!
Lets make it happen people...
As usual its been a pleasure, Thanks for reading.
