Blood Tells True Dead Tree Cover

I am very tired, and really most of my day was spent creating the cover for the paper version of Blood Tells True. It's way more work to design paper covers than e-covers. And it isn't the most rewarding work because I'm doing it for two reasons unrelated to writing success:

1. To please the Luddites I know personally.
2. So Amazon will stop estimating page counts on my e-only offerings, because it estimates way too low.

So I'm posting it to feel like I at least got a blog post out of the work. The bar code will go beside the fist, so that won't be as unbalanced as it looks right now.

    Really Alan!
    By the way... paper books are so 20th century!

    However, The cover looks fantastic and I am so thrilled you have finished. I will be reading it soon and look forward to splashing your cover all over my site!

  3. @Grayson I hope it's easier for you to get the books you want now that you have a Kindle. I remember how patiently you waited for Burden Kansas.

    @NovelOpionion I just can't have my face on the outside of the book. I thought about it, and I can't do it!

    If I ever have a hard cover, I'll gladly let them slap my mug on an inside flap.

    I can't wait to hear what you think!
