Book Cover Update

The cover for my debut novel Phoenix Awakening will be revealed in two weeks!

I wouldn't consider myself a fantastic artist but I'm proud of how it turned out. It took me a month and a half to learn clip paint studio basics and create a cover in the dimensions needed for self-publishing.

I also decided to create a hardcover version, which has special back cover art inspired by stained glass and mosaics.

Indie Author Progress #9

This week has been a bit slow. I set up my ARCS for Phoenix Awakening, they are now available to sign up for and will be distributed via book funnel. My friend Sophie was a lifesaver for recommending it. She recently published her first poetry volume, Orchids in Winter: Poetry and Prose.

I also received my hardcover version of Phoenix Awakening but the image on the wrap was horribly placed. I waited over a month to realize I had to redo that once again, as well as a capitalization issue on the spine.

I created a series of reels and more posts for instagram and also went over what I have for book 3/ what I've rewritten, so this week will be the week to jump back into it regardless of writers block.

Overall I'm both excited and stressed to have the release date for Phoenix Awakening coming so soon.
