The Great Cover Artist Search

The Great Cover Artist Search of 2012 has come to a conclusion, and I have found my cover artist! Renee Barratt, owner of The Cover Counts, will be designing the cover for Small Things. Renee is super-affordable (leaving me more money to buy stock and advertising,) has designed some really sharp covers, and comes highly recommended by best-selling author Connie Suttle.

Thanks to everyone I spoke to about designing my cover, especially Tim Baron and Lynne Hansen. Both are insanely talented and would make a great cover for just about any book.

I do think choosing the right cover is important, a cover that manages to convey something about the book while at the same time being eye-catching. I know I’ve chosen books solely based on the cover, and sometimes I’ve even liked the book itself. I can’t wait to see what Renee comes up with!

From Joe's writing

Why had she been so mean to Ben? She needed to be more understanding of his condition. She’d practically rubbed it in his face that she had a hot-and-heavy date tonight, and more or less treated him like dirt. She’d just been so angry when she’d walked into his dream. Seeing him making love to her doppelganger somehow left her feeling betrayed, but for the life of her she couldn’t really figure out why. Worse yet, why had it bothered her so much that he saw her as she really was and not as the hot fantasy chick she liked to portray in her dreams? She shrugged to herself, willing the thoughts from her head.
