I got some good writing done over at El Toro’s tonight while I had a bowl of their excellent tortilla soup. I changed the plot to make major revelations about the characters of the two protagonists at the novel’s (Shadows and Stars) end. The final denouement should be very interesting. It’s not a plot twist. It’s more of a character twist, rather the twists of two characters.
After I came back home, I did some household chores, talked to the wife on the phone, and then I started re-thinking the covers for Alien Embrace and Click. I searched Pixabay (they have the best royalty-free images for my purposes), and found a couple of potential covers. The one for Click, required only adding title, subtitle, and byline. The one for Alien Embrace required some modification in Pixlr (a poor man’s Photoshop, but it does all I need and it does it well), but it turned out well. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Let me know what you think. Now almost all my books have a person’s photo on them, except for A Tale of Hell… I will give that one some consideration. It may be difficult to find a photo of a person that captures the spirit of that particular work. The books will be updated with the new covers within the next 72 hours.
By the way, four of my books will be free tomorrow, Friday the 15th. Check them out at my Amazon author’s page.
