Excellent Value Book Cover Design Service!

If you are an independent author or small publisher, one of the biggest areas of stress is getting the right cover for your books.  The well known saying - "Never judge a book by its cover" is completely wrong - EVERYONE judges a book by its cover. The cover is what sells the book - or, more often, fails to sell the book.  Good designers are worth their weight in gold, and many of the best can charge their weight in gold too!

I have found a great company that offers expert design services at unbelievably reasonable prices. They offer premade eBook covers from only £30.

So if you are looking for a great book designer at a reasonable price - look no further. Just get yourself over to Magic Design Company - The Book Cover Design Experts.

Cover Reveal For The Afterland Chronicles Re-Boot

A Writers Life - Disasters

Okay, so this week has been a busy week, I planned the complete outlines of the five books that I intended to work on over the next twelve months and even got their cover designs drafted.

Cover Design for my new
Thriller Series - Hoyle & Son

I downloaded a new scrivener app so that I could sync my work onto my iPad for when I had a flash of inspiration and no laptop handy. I was feeling pretty happy with myself, smug even. 

Then, just like there really was some Amish-like God up there waving his divine finger at me and tut-tutting at my shameful display of pride - KERPOW! Everything fell apart. 

Cover design for the third
in the Afterland Chronicles
Series - Ice & Fyre

Maybe I did worship at the feet of that false God of 'Technology' a little too enthusiastically - recklessly even, but the punishment was harsh. My new syncing app synced all of my work into oblivion, including the first five chapters of Ice and Fyre. I am not ashamed to tell you I cried like a beauty queen only not so prettily. 

So, instead of spending the day busily writing as originally planned, I spent the next eight hours trying to recover my work. After googling thousands of 'solutions' to my problem, trawling through hundreds of backup files and performing various geeky technological gymnastics, I got most of it back. Though it appears that the first Chapter of Ice and Fyre sadly, is lost forever. 

Trying to remember a couple of thousand words that you wrote a few weeks ago seems an impossible task especially when those words were painstakingly crafted to resolved the cliffhanger left at the end of Ryte of Passage, So now I have to rewrite it....

Looks like this week is going to be another busy week - doubly so because I'm going to backup the hell out of everything!

The Story Continues...

Last weekend I began book two of the Atfterland Chronicles and managed to complete the first draft of Chapter one of the book which has the working title 'Ryte of Passage'. It is my intention to develop some of the newer characters as well as delve more deeply into the relationships between each of the main protagonists and of course the antagonists. 

The book is to begin where Ascension of the Whyte ended,  so nothing important will be missed out. Twists and turns in the plot are already in the scheme of things. It really is great fun and an exciting challenge to try to surprise my readers and keep them interested and engaged in the story. I love it!

 

Take a look at the image that is to be used for the cover design for Ryte of Passage... There will be dragons too!
