  2. Travis Jacobs says

    I’ll take one copy, thanks.

  3. Craig Falvo says

    Looks nice!

  4. Just Sayin' says

    How is the image (autumn tree leaves?) linked to the subject matter?

    I’m just asking, not criticising.

    • I guess you have to buy the book to find out (I have no idea – I don’t get to design it, nor really approve it. But, I’ll tell you anything to get you to buy the book)

  5. I still think it’s strange that you didn’t get much say about the cover, but maybe that’s the norm. What do I know about publishing?!? Anyway, congrats! And, I hope that have a blog tour or something like it when it’s released. Any idea when that will be?

    • some publishers allow you some choice in the cover design, but it is limited. I could strongly oppose the cover, but not any real grounds.

      I guess the autumn leaves are there because of the autumn fall of Jerusalem? (Work with me here, people)
