I wasn't really into the whole publication thing until it became a challenge.  It's an obsessive game now where I try to balance my personal pride with my compassionate nature.   I need to get back to writing, not marketing - but I'm not sure how to get back on track.   Both actually seem to be high stress these days.

So, I put a personal challenge in place and I shall be posting a revision to Second Sight later this week.  I decided Hale shouldn't get the girl, so the chapters are reordered and Nadiya isn't staying with him anymore.  Second Sight and GW will be one volume/book when I'm done.  It just made sense to include the trial.

Anyway, we started playing with cover art for Ghost Writer.   Here are the ideas.

Concept #1:  The yellow legal pad.  Pros: Very story focused, Cons: Too technical - looks like a non-fiction book in my opinion.

Concept #2:  The glass coffin (inside is a bat and a shovel.  Pros:  Unique.  Cons: Tough to see and understand as a thumbnail.

Concept #3:  Hale's house and writing.  Pros:  I LOVE!!!! this photo in its original form (see the GW page).  Cons:  Titles aren't quite right.  Black is too gothic, and purple seems to contemporary.

So, for now, we're running with this one above.   Perhaps if we get closer to publication I'll be able to articulate what would work -- I'm not expert though.
