A Small Treat

I wasn’t going to do it, but I’ve decided to break my cardinal rule. I’m going to reveal the front and back covers for my book. (takes deep breath).

Here they are:

Front:

Back:

Also, I got word today that LuLu has shipped my first self-ordered copy for proofing. I’m thinking it’s the softcover version. I’ll have it for review on Thursday. Once I’ve gone over both books (soft and hard cover), I’ll apply for an ISBN for each, get the UPC stuck on there, and put them up for sale. Then, it’s your turn my loyal readers! (insert gratuitous look and toe-tapping).

Thanks for all your support over the years. Hopefully you’ll enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. My proofreader, someone who I care for and respect immensely (no, not Beth, she hasn’t read it yet; she wants to be a proud wife sitting on the train reading her husband’s book), told me it was great (except for me mixing up two of the characters about a million times).

That’s all folks. Critique the covers if you’re so inclined. I’m curious to know what you think. I flashed them around at work, and the response so far has been pretty good…

    Awesome! Maybe you’ve invented a new genre – Blog-Horror or something.

    You should build a MySpace hype page for the book or something and make it look like the character’s blog. It could be like viral marketing for your book like “I Love Bees” was for Halo 2. :wink:

    Anyway, congrats again. I’m looking forward to reading it.

    Dude, I didn’t know you were writing a book! I’m out of it for a little while and look what I miss! I’ll definitely pick up a copy!

    Sweet! Lookin good, man!

    If you don’t mind me asking, (after reading the preface, I’ll understand if you’re a little hesitant) what is it that you do for a living?
