My artist friend [profile] kenmora offered to do a cover for the novel I wrote in November and plan to self-publish. I really like it, as it captures exactly what my book is about. So I thought it might be fun to post this link to the cover in his journal to show it off. Thanks, Ken!

I'm still working out how to print it up. I may put it in magazine form in an 80 page or so saddle stitch, so that I can easily copy it and not have to use a "fancy" mode of print on demand. I may put it up as an LJ. I may make it an adobe. We'll see, but Ken's work makes me hanker to do an actual old fashioned pulp paperback!
I found a small printer (you know, my personal credo, next to "life is too short", is probably "small is good"), and may have to go that route.

Meanwhile, I'm reading [personal profile] sun_set_bravely's nanowrimo novel. We had agreed to exchange drafts before either of us had really started ours. What fun! She really had a lot of fun with hers, and now I am having fun reading it. It's chock full of action, and spunky "wild women".

It is a very nice cover! Glad things are working out so well.

Looking forward to reading your novel. It would be nice to buy an "old fashioned pupl paperback"!

Yes, I think you may be right. I hate to impose the extra costs which a paperback involves upon the reader, but a paperback is somehow better than a pdf file, any way you slice it.

I vote for pulp paperback, too. And the cover is divine! How do we get our copies?!

Another vote for pulp paperback. My new year's resolutions all involve getting things like this completed. This one only needs a revision of some text, a back cover, some reformatting for the printer, and it's off to print.

What a great cover! I'm working on sewing my Nanowrimo mini-book together right now. It hasn't been as easy putting this thing together as I had thought!

I am so glad you went ahead and did this mini-book. It's SUCH a cool idea. I hope it comes out in the way you want it to do!
