I set about looking for a royalty-free image on istockphoto that would make a good cover. As you see, I succeeded. I am pleased with the results, but I have two versions. I would appreciate feedback via the comments.
A simple I like the first one, or the second one made me want to stab myself in the eyes with a pointy halibut, you know, that sort of thing.
Also, I’m looking for beta readers. I’d like people (adult people) who are willing to read it and then force one of their children to do the same. Okay, maybe force was the wrong word to use. Strongly imply that Santa will never visit them again if they don’t read your middle-aged and bitter, social media friend’s book…yes, that is more the tone I was going for. (I will be ordering about a dozen proofs to send out, after I get it back from my uber cool editor Erin)
Also, I would like the adults to agree to give an honest review and, if they felt it was warranted, include a comment from their progeny. Something along the lines, “Little Betty-Mae, said she enjoyed the book so much that she felt her love for mommy had grown because of the opportunity to give it a read and that only bad parents wouldn’t immediately order a copy for their children…only really bad parents.”
Something subtle is what I’m looking for there. Not that I’m trying to write the review for you.
Let me know.
