producing book covers. I’m hoping to have ‘The Boys of Summer’ finished
by Christmas, so I thought there would be no harm done if I made a
mockup of a cover for it which I could have at hand, just in case LBR
wanted it.

I have this crazy idea that I might like to branch
out into doing cover art :) So I found some stock photos and knocked up
a possible cover for The Boys of Summer (lighthearted m/m surfing
novel) and The Mysterious, which is the anthology ‘Wages of Sin’ is
destined for.

  

Obviously
they’d be bigger (and therefore the text would be easier to read) in
real life!  Also they wouldn’t have the watermarks on because I would
have paid for the use of the image.  But what do you think?  Should I
give up the idea now and stick to the day job?
