In my last post, I mentioned that I have sent my book on to my editors. I have received some good feedback so far. I'm still waiting for their final suggestions so that I can make corrections, but I'm excited about what I'm hearing from them.
I have also ordered my cover art and am waiting to see the new artwork. Cover art is so important because even though we say "don't judge a book by it's cover" most people decide if they're going to buy a book within eight seconds of seeing the cover. It's possible to do your own cover art, but since I have no knowledge of how to design my own cover art and there are places where you can get into trouble if you use images that are copyrighted, I decided with my first book to use a professional. If you do an online search, you can find so many different options. Some are extremely expensive and others are more affordable. Some have a more professional feel than others. I decided to go with Killer Covers for my first book as a nice middle of the road option. They were somewhat reasonable and their sample covers were very well done. I was very happy with their work with the first book. It was exactly what I was thinking of. I've sent them the information for the second book. Hopefully, I will be able to give you a look at the new cover by next week!
Everything is coming together and I'm hoping to have the second book available for purchase this month!
