Cover Contest Semi-Finalist

-
Happy Thanksgiving! While this holiday has had its ups and downs through history, I like to celebrate it for the spirit of thankfullness, and I hope you do too. Today I'm especially thankful for all of you who voted for me and made the following announcement possible. You rock!

I don't normally talk about my graphic design stuff here on my author's blog but this news is so big I had to share. I'm so incredibly honored to make this announcement. The website renowned as the Wikipedia-like data base for authors, Authorsdb, has been running a cover contest for 2013 and three of my cover designs are finalists!!! I just about fainted when I found out.

Here they are, along with links to vote for them in round of voting:





Erotica, Valkyrie Slumbering. This image may not be suitable for some of my younger readers so you'll have to click on the link to go to Authorsdb to see it and vote for it.

You don't have to do much if you don't want to, I'll do all the work for you with a guest post! For those who would like to participate, I'll send out a guest post for you to put up on your blog.

Today I'm post-poning the creature feature to take part in a very important blogfest honoring banned books. It was brought to my attention by the fantastic I Am A Reader Not A Writer blog . Nearly every one of the great Ellen Hopkins's novels has been banned somewhere. She writes about things that challenge kids today, sex, drugs, prostitution, terrible things for sure, but things kids are dealing with whether we like it or not.

I've recently learned that my own novel, The Secret of Spruce Knoll, will not be carried in my most local bookstore because of an intense scene in it. I unde...
