That's absolutely postitively supercalifragilisticexpialadocious! It would definetly be a book I would pick up at the bookstore and go "Hmm. This looks interesting." Yes, I do judge a book by its cover.

If you want colour, what if you tried a red background?

Thank you!! I ended up adding a couple jewels to the front... so here is the fully completed front and back cover. i47.tinypic.com/144b5zq.jpgi46.tinypic.com/53wdpz.jpgI uploaded the book to Create Space today and am waiting for my copy to arrive, to check for typos and all that. So exciting! I now know the official price: $13.99. I had to raise it slightly from Forgotten Memories (which is $12.99), since it's more than 100 pages longer (388 pages)!

Thanks, hon! So, I found a typo... which means there are probably others, so I'd like to reread it one last time. Release date has been pushed a week...second week of July (probably near the end of it), I promise it will be available to you all! It'll be worth the extra wait for it to be error-free, right?

My print copy came today! Looks like I'll have to format it a wee bit differently (the text is a bit too far from the spine), in addition to catching typos... but the cover turned out beautifully! Guess what I'll be doing this weekend....

Still waiting for Barnes & Noble to upload the Nook version, then I shall make a lovely announcement about all the versions of Shrouded Jewels being available. Today I am working on getting Forgotten Memories into hardcover format. I've decided to hold a book launch party... probably with mostly my friends, but I shall invite everyone I know (so will my parents) and encourage them to invite more. (And of course you are all invited if you happen to be in the area... ) Anyway... does anyone have suggestions of activities and such to do during it?

Is there any way you could get it on the iPad?

That should be one of the options on Smashwords. If it's not, please let me know and I will definitely look into it!
