Another Book Cover (Final Exit)

The turnaround time, from the initial discussion with the novelist, until the novel is published, can take a pretty long time (think months, or years). Usually, by the time the novel is published, I’ve forgotten all about it, as in this case by Joan Nelson (though this wasn’t such a long turnaround).  I wish her luck with this novel.

It may be because I’m a frustrated novelist (no, I never actually tried to write a novel) or because I know how much effort goes into the writing and especially the quest for publication, that I get such pleasure seeing my images as book covers.

“Dave,
Final Exit is a hybrid of romance and high drama combined with thrilling intrigue. It is not primarily a mystery; except in the sense of knowing the truth about someone we care deeply about, but whose life is shrouded in secrecy. The writing is sexy, smart and sophisticated. My readers say I’m, “a master at portraying emotion, passion and suspense,” and that they “love the way I delve into both the loving and sinister aspects of the human condition. A must read!” The book will be available Mid-August and the website is under construction. I will keep you posted as to where and when it can be purchased. Thanks for your interest.” – Joan Nelson

Maybe one day I’ll get it together and write my own bit of fiction.  The fact that I don’t find the time, doesn’t mean I don’t have the time, it just means that I get distracted by other things that are more interesting at the time.  For example, the Paris stuff.  That might make a small book.  Maybe I’ll take a crack at books again.  The one thing I learned about self-publishing, is that they’ve got to be fairly cheap to sell; and they’ve got to have some sort of support from the publisher.

Anyhow, here’s the back cover:
