Well, my evil plans are coming to fruition. The relaunch of
Hockey Is My Boyfriend is well under way, with new editions of Part One and
Part Two uploading onto Amazon as I write this. A new cover for How The Cookie
Crumbles is coming as well. And the only tasks remaining are a final
read-through of Part Three and then off for some special formatting with the
guru of formatting, Jaye Manus.

I also wanted to sing the praises of my cover designer,
Murphy Rae. She’s at Indie Solutions by Murphy Rae. I found her ages ago while websurfing,
but I didn’t pull the trigger on a redesign until I could see the end of Part
Three. I have to confess it was hard to find a cover designer I really liked,
since I’m pretty fussy. My day job is in visual arts, so I have strong
opinions on what I like.
Imagine you’re a cover designer and your client says she
needs three covers. And the girl has to look the same, but the two guys have to
look different. Also, she’s half-Asian, athletic, and she can’t be wearing
dresses or too much make-up. Um, if you could add a little hint of hockey, that
would be good. If I were the designer, I’d be pulling the eject button, but
Murphy Rae was extremely professional and came up with covers that I love. She even did surgery on one model so her nose looked more Asian.
Also, did you know if you search for half/Asian/women on
stock photo sites, this is what you get:
I am still writing the bridge story, but will get it to
everyone on the mailing list this week. Meantime, reread Parts One and Two, and
get ready for the awesomeness that is Part Three! (She said modestly. Hey, I’m
just so excited for you to read it.)
