Thank you to everyone who helped out last week by taking my Book 6 title survey! In the beginning, I wasn’t sure if I was absolutely going to use the top reader choice, but I knew I needed help making a decision. I had so many ideas, but nothing felt just right.

As many of you may be aware, I’ve had all of my books exclusive to Amazon for some time. There are several reasons for this, but part of it has been that by doing this, I’ve been able to have my books in the Kindle Online Lending Library.

Ever since I updated the images and theme of the blog, I’ve been getting a lot of comments on the 3D book covers on the home page. If you have Photoshop (not Elements), they’re quick and easy to make. I wish I could say I slaved over them, that they are evidence of my technical genius or artistic abilities, but the truth is, I use a super bit of software I found on the web. I bought a...
