Fifty

Alteration: Making the NAME and TITLE larger on above version. 
Despite whatever else you hear, dust jackets are all about name and title.
Anything else is optional. Go check out the bestsellers on the shelves
if you don't believe. That's the best place to learn to do a cover, surely. 

46 days off the novel ESCAPING HAZEL, and then straight back into the story with only a glass of liqueur as the catalyst. Done half a page, then a paragraph the next day, and today starting typing up Chapter 4 in Microsoft Word XP. So the writing cap is back on, which is pleasant. I sincerely believe that this one, when complete, will be one of the finest classics in the history of books. No irony. Honestly. You HAVE to think along these lines, otherwise what's the point? I'm not here to write just 'another book' again. Those 'other books' are done.

After long speculation, the next ebook release has been decided. It will be 50% Rude (I always do the percentage sign on the wrong side because it looks better). Now is the best time for this title to swoop along in the slipstream of 50 Shades of Shite Grey. Half of 50% Rude is erotic, as you may have guessed by the title, and written long before anyone to my knowledge had even heard of 50 Shades of Shite Grey. This is one of Zombie Publications' latest offerings. It would have been nice to upload in chronological order, but the iron is hot and now's the time for striking.

It's a good way to think. It's all about VIRAL POTENTIAL. Below is a man on a mock cover done for fun who I met on two occasions as a kid. He is a a myth and a legend of sorts among local folk who has attracted media attention over a number of years in the Merseyside basin especially (more about him later for sure). Something along these lines could have mass appeal. A fictional book about PURPLE AKI? I'd buy it! (Or at least rent it from the library, and remember, reading is better than buying folks). The key is fitting something of equal interest together with your personal work. It's a digital global network we inhabit now. It can sometimes feel like it's all about 'likes' and 'shares'. How oh so very sad. But still, the novel Escaping Hazel will only be available in print. I don't want it to be seen by a thousand, but rather cherished and inspirational to ten. Thousand.
