New Cover of my book to be
Sep 1^st, 2006 at 5:42pm

just wanted to share as my daughter made me this cover and I like the way she does shading. the back cover will be the shadow lady walking away..he he...I'm pleased its nearly done. I'm not even plugging me, I'm plugging daughter here although I surely hope my book will give somebody somewhere a little inspiration to explore our afterlife and before life or any life really! love, alysia

thanks Cathy, all,my daughter said she wants to know everybody's comments about the cover so she can improve herself. as a mother, she says my opinion of her doesn't count, as we always think our children are perfect! haha! so true. Roll Eyes

but she does have certain eye for color arrangement, depth and perspective overall to my unbiased? opinion.
Vicky said I should put a roadsign on the road though, and Dana & I agreed, a roadsign for a book called roadsigns, might be just the cat's meow!

not sure what kind of road sign..the number 11 miles? a deer road crossing? have to think about that. maybe anybody have a suggestion I can use..appreciate it. love, alysia

Alysia,

That's one serious professional cover and I suspect from what I've read from Roadsigns so far, this cover is picking up on the essence of your tales and you, especially the way that you sit by the roadside with your hands dangling and your eyes looking expectantly towards the unknow adventure down the C1 road and leading out to the Universal road. The colors too are just right and give the cover and book a dignityand respect needed for such a revolutanry theme presented by average Joe/Jane. I love it and I can tell it was created by someone who loves and wants to do good by you.

Love, Jean Kiss

P.S. Still looking forward to going into a Barnes&Noble and spotting it on the shelf and proudly stating, "that's my friend" as I purchase it and then going home to devour it. J

Hi Jean, I think it picks up the essence pretty well of a journey. that we're all on one of those but its always good to get confirmation or allow yourself to gloat for one second that it's doing what its supposed to. Dana's not home today and I can't wait til she reads this thread. so thank you all again. I guess thats me, with my philosophy if in doubt what to do, hitch a ride until you figure it out.

oh, I'm slow today. its purty.
hugs, alysia

Hi Alysia,
no I wouldn't add a roadsign. It would somehow hinder the flow into the depth of the picture. The roadsigns are coming, not yet to be seen, hidden ahead in the shades, sitting Laughing Rain is just about to start her journey and then will see the signs. They are INSIDE the book, not on the cover, the cover invites the reader to follow the road, to read the book and while reading to see the roadsigns.

Spooky

I was wondering if I did put a sign, where to put it without cluttering up the area and what size. but what u say makes sense that u must not underestimate the readers imagination.. thanks dearheart!
