Cover art is subjective

If you have been reading my blog for any amount of time, you know I love doing cover art.

Canva is a tool. Not my only tool. But one that I use often.

I usually don’t use the template option. I feel like I’m more creative and can come up with something else.

That being said… the above cover was only slightly modified from the template option.

That template inspired me.

Then I wrote the volume, published it, and found out that the image has inspired many people. It has been used for several books.

Sigh.

So I revamped the cover. I gave it my own flair. And I feel like it fits better. I have already updated most of the ebook locations. And I will be doing the same thing for the print and remaining ebook sellers later today. It should have been more like this to start with.

I have really no excuses. Inspiration does not always equate to me thinking things through.

The link is the same.

The only thing that is changing is the cover is getting a little bit better.

National Poetry Month and Other Shenanigans

Okay, April is a crazy month for me. Oh boy I am a busy bee….I have a full publishing slate.

(Mar 31 The key of the Storm , Apr 7 Internal Battlefields, Apr 14 Valley of Thoughts, Apr 21 State of Mind )

I always do the PAD Challenge myself. Plus I host a PAD challenge on the Fae Corps Blog

So I have scheduled a Poem A Day on here just in case I don’t get to do any other blogging. No commentary…just poetry by wonderful poets whom I enjoy. I hope to be able to post my own poetry throughout the month and maybe do some of my regular posts as well. I do not know.

I will be trying to be popping in and trying to discuss things as I can, but I at least wanted to keep my blog active while I am so busy.

This week is an odd one

It’s Sunday. I usually do my publishing/blog/writing based responsibilities on Sunday… but it is also Joe’s birthday. So, I am squeezing in what I can before I go to bed. Then I will be spending the day with him and trying to get the rest of the week playing catch up. Next week I will be AWOL as the 13th is my day.

I actually have ideas for this week, mostly. Wednesday is the iffy…but I may come up with something by the time I get there.

If I find that I am feeling froggy I might try to do something after the 13th as far as posts but regardless I will return to work on the following week.

Also…in addition to my own release of Internal Battlefields, my middle child, NK Xero, is looking at releasing a poetry book in April. (With Fae Corps Publishing of course). Also I am hoping to do the same thing I usually do and post a daily poem. I’m hoping to try to do some new ones ☺️

My Immortality

I fought the Internal Battlefields and finished the writing as of today for it. I will be announcing the publication date as I have it…

I asked here and on several of my social media… and the choice came down to Hellfire and other illusions, my causality, and Immortality. So I asked Joe… His choice was Immortality. My daughter liked it best but felt like I would have an easier time writing Victory over the Asylum. I hope she is wrong there.
