Just published, cover by me. I'm not a designer, but I do have an old version of Adobe Creative Suite. The picture is a young girl wearing beads and a party dress, acknowledgements MorgueFile again, but some pretty serious cropping turns her (I hope) into the Morrigan, Celtic Goddess of Battles, also known as the Crow Goddess. Next, I'm working on Unicorn's Blood (Patricia Finney again) followed by the first book in the Chronicles of the Dragon Sisters series by Peter Quatrine (who does his own artwork). At the same time, I'll be setting up a trial paperback edition of A Shadow of Gulls (scroll down) on CreateSpace. This will be my first time with CreateSpace, and actually with POD (Print On Demand) at all, and if it works out, we'll be saving massively on print bills. First discovery is that CreateSpace offers a choice of white or cream paper, but that distribution options vary according to colour choice. So: white after all. Inside paper is 60gsm, I think. Wide range of both custom and industry-standard dimensions. I think maybe a straightforward trade paperback? |
