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.

Serena Mossgraves’s Poetry

Since today is the release day for her Blood Red Rain… I thought I would share 2 of Serena’s poems. One from the new release (at the bottom) and another one from the one in progress.

Evolving poetry volumes

So I am done with the writing on Muse’s Masterpiece.

I will start Echoes tomorrow.

That being said… when I asked for a help to pick the next volume, I think that I miss-spoke. I always start with the idea that the volume is unthemed. (Unless I have a theme in mind) it evolves every time to bear a little bit of a theme.

I don’t do it on purpose.

I really don’t.

There is always some that don’t fit in the end exactly, but I don’t feel bad about it as it was not supposed to be a themed book to start with.

All of that being said… Muse’s Masterpiece seems to be mostly about answering the call of the creative muse.

Muse’s Masterpiece is scheduled for publishing in November (Link when I get it). And I will be writing on Echoes into the Void starting tomorrow. Maybe this one will not gather a theme on me.

Guess What?

Fae Corps Publishing is releasing two new anthologies. My poetry will be in Dark Dreams: Ready for the Day along with a new story from Serena.

Serena will have poetry in Dark Dreams: Letting in the Night. I don’t have links for both yet…but I will get them posted here as soon as I do. (The link for Day is giving me trouble. I have the one for Night…) Come back in a week to see the pretty covers I designed for these two anthologies.

It’s that time again.

As Of today… I am 15 poems from completion of Muse’s Masterpiece. I have my doubts that it will take me the rest of the week to finish writing it. I may be wrong. I have several “Themed” volumes in progress but I want a non theme volume for writing as usual. The six covers above are all non themed. Help me pick the next one?

Introducing Me

So, I have been writing for a while as Patricia Harris. I have even been doing the same as Serena Mossgraves for a little bit. That is not a surprise for anyone. I have been sitting on the beginning of a story and I didn’t want to go anywhere with it because it was just not in the genre of either of my pen names. At the same time I have been trying to write it since I was in school. It was the first one that I ever wrote. So I am going to try making a new pen name just for the writing of romance and or other things along that lines.

So…Hi. meet me. Susan Ann Andrews. Romance writer.

Y’all get the information sooner, but this allows me to get my numbers higher with Amazon. (I announce it often before the preorder happens, but Amazon does use the numbers to influence how it shows my books)
