“Just Thinking” is the title of my book which is in its final rounds of editing before being published, but the cover design has been established which really is the basis for this Post!
I wanted a cover that was visually appealing and created an aura of peace and calm, with a hint of mystique, and which may create the ambience for thoughtful moments to the receptive reader!
I think I got what I envisaged!
It is my intention to market it to the casual reader, who could take it with them on their daily commute, or perhaps have it laying on a coffee table for browsing as time permits, or any other circumstance which presents a few moments on a regular basis to read a page or two!
No publishing date has been established at this time, but that will hopefully change over the next few weeks.
Although I’m super behind in reading blogs, I had to stop in and say LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the cover! Continued best wishes as you go to publication. π

Isn’t is so very satisfying to have someone understand and produce exactly what you set out for them to do? Good job!

It really is Amy. While I am very happy with the cover on “Who Said I was up for Adoption?”, it took quite few samples before it “said” what I wanted it to say. The “Just Thinking” cover was right the first time! Pretty awesome! π

Thank you. Based on my experience with “Who Said I was up for Adoption?”, the easiest part (writing the book) is now done. Making the whole world aware of a book’s existence is a much bigger challenge! π

This cover absolutely depicts aura of peace. I think the illustrator did an amazing job with the cover. It is eye catching too and with the words written in the cover, it makes a reader/buyer want to take a closer look.

Thank you Ameena. If the cover can say “Come and take a closer look!”… then I would suggest that it has done its job well. π

Such a lovely idea! A book of inspiration. I love that. The cover is wonderful and already gives a hint of the depth the content may lead the readers in themselves. Compliment!

Hi Dorinda. That photo was taken a few years ago at a park which is about a 10 minute walk away from our home. My partner Carol took the pic with her Canon EOS Digital Rebel. π
