I don't upgrade covers often. In fact, since publishing my first book in 2012, I have replaced an original image with something significantly different only three times. This summer, I did so again.
Thanks to Melissa Williams Design,
The Memory Tree has a new wrap. The graphics outfit produced a cover that will
soon be displayed in
BookLife. A few times a year, the web site,
Publishers Weekly's gift to the self-published community, features cover makeovers that showcase the skills of graphic artists. Both authors and illustrators benefit from the high-profile promotion.
The Memory Tree makeover follows two earlier overhauls. Podium Publishing, now
Podium Audio, produced a new cover for
The Mine in 2013. Laura Wright LaRoche did the same for
The Mirror in 2014. She also modified the text elements on the covers of
The Journey,
The Show, and
The Fire. Needless to say, I am pleased with all of the updates.
I hope to decide on a Kindle cover for
Crown City, my latest work in progress, by the middle of October. The fifth and final book of the Time Box series is still scheduled for a December 2021 release.
