There's so much horror around that it's refreshing to see something that sells itself on mystery, adventure and humour. <br /><br />There's no way I'd ever be good enough to design a front cover although I'd love to have those skills. I'd also love to be able to write and illustrate a picture book myself but, for the same reason, it's not going to happen!Rosalind Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363027308436257933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913682603555541882.post-45925056461976168142012-07-25T10:15:52.891-04:002012-07-25T10:15:52.891-04:00Dezzy - those are good suggestions!

It needs a lot of work since in this shape it won't attract many readers to pick it up in a bookshop. I'd put half of the cover red and half white with white and red typing letters and would make the title in the middle with a huge emphasis on word SCARY, maybe even highlighted in black, which would attract buyers to see it in the shop.DEZMONDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127166104359407763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913682603555541882.post-15709309062996096632012-07-25T08:35:03.664-04:002012-07-25T08:35:03.664-04:00Deb - I really enjoyed Earthling Hero too!

...Thanks for letting us in on this author, Jemi...<br /><br />It certainly sounds like an intriguing read. I write M/G and Y/A so I need to read this one.

I think she and her husband have succeeded in creating a good, effective book cover because it shows just enough about the main plot element to draw reader interest. :) <br /><br />I’ve been making book covers for myself and other writers for years. I’m too busy to make them for others now, but I still enjoy doing my own because I have full control over the style and feel that way. <br /><br />I always enjoy your posts, Jemi! :)Susan Bodendo/Super Earthlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10552499547660991944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913682603555541882.post-14109012261006506862012-07-24T09:18:53.644-04:002012-07-24T09:18:53.644-04:00Andrea - I really enjoyed it - lots of fun and sus...Andrea - I really enjoyed it - lots of fun and suspense!<br /><br />Talli - me too!
