Christmas shopping for yourself

I had quite a year, or two, and I suppose all of it led up to this moment. And it’s been a hard moment, but I didn’t come here to garner sympathy. I am working through my stacks of emotions, sometimes quietly, sometimes loudly, either way I’m still here, working on my sequel. But in the meantime, I should do the formal introduction of my new cover.

I revamped my novel cover after so much wonderful feedback. Some of which was simply- how does it fit the genre?

And that’s when I recognized the cover didn’t scream DARK FANTASY (but light hearted fantasy, not high fantasy, not death and destruction- alice in wonderland type of fantasy). So I went to work thinking, learning and reaching my creative arm as far as I could which was out of my comfort zone for sure since I don’t know how to do Digital Art and trust me, I tried, but teaching myself a new medium for art. So I went to sketching, painting and canva art to cut and piece together a cover and this is what I came up with! No AI, just my plain hand made art, as mediocre as it is, it’s at least mine.

Plus I’m working on my sequel which means I am already really busy writing and I’m so excited to release Justyce Scales Too but that will be a little further down the road, most definitely by Christmas next year! Even though I promised it this year, unfortunately I am not venturing three of the five big life stressors, not alone, but nearly alone.

And I’d like my new cover to match the sequel neatly, because life isn’t neatly packed at all. Sometimes it throws a complete upheaval that leaves you with the most precious gems. Like this photo, it’s the cutest of the lot I took, because I was looking down as the book slipped slowly out of its sleeve, trying so valiantly to be naked once again.

So check out some links here, buy my book, do some christmas shopping for yourself! My book is now available with its new jacket!!

Merry Christmas friends,
