My novella “Deathsun 2012” is available in print from Amazon.com and CreateSpace.com

On the last night of the Mayan calendar, four friends gather in a remote house to wait out “the end of the world” – but they are not alone! Supernatural forces are close by, as the veil between the worlds is thin at this time of universal transformation, and the great battle of Revelation, of good vs. evil, is yet to begin.

The paperback proof of my novella “Deathsun 2012” arrived today and I think it looks great! It’s a glossy cover, so hard to photograph, but here’s a look (click the photos for a larger, better looking version):

I think it came out very well!

My poetry book “A Conspicuous Medium” back in print

Posted on by

This chapbook of my poetry, “A Conspicuous Medium” was first published back in 1997 by a small local press, in a limited print run. Copies soon sold out/were given as gifts, and the book was out of print for many years. Then, I expanded the book and republished it as an Ebook last year. But, the paper edition was still lacking – but no more!

The 2nd edition of my poetry book “A Conspicuous Medium” is now available in a paper edition.

2nd proof of “A Conspicuous Medium”

Posted on by

The 2nd proof for my poetry book “A Conspicuous Medium” arrived yesterday. It looks pretty good. I like the colours and clarity of the text better on this version. I was going to tweak it some more, but it’s fine (could play with it forever) – so, I’m going to approve this and it will be available at Amazon.com. Then, eventually bookstores, and libraries, soon!

cover image update – Deathsun 2012 – novella

Posted on by

Here’s a new version of the cover for the print book of Deathsun 2012 – novella.

The left hand side sun image was flipped, producing a neat mirror effect.

Now, to resubmit it to CreateSpace and see if it passes their standards. This image doesn’t look as good as the Photoshop image, due to the file being compressed. The print cover should look better, as well.

Deathsun 2012 – novella – print cover in-progress

Posted on by

Here is the cover for the print edition of DEATHSUN 2012 – a novella. It was assembled in Photoshop, using a CreateSpace PDF template for guidance. Soon, it will go to CreateSpace, along with the interior of the book, for proofing. With any luck, there will be a print edition of my book available soon!

The colours and resolution are a bit degraded, as remember – this is a cover for print. As such, it was created in the CMYK colour space, and at a much higher resolution than this .jpg can portray with its RGB colours. This is just a glimpse.
