I queried a local bookshop…

I sent my novella to a mom and pop bookstore for review. Start small, so the wisdom goes. First impressions are that they like my book. I’m not saying a lot, but yea, it was a positive feeling that I caught from them. Wonder if they will request copies for sale and how many I should print per month?

Then there is the issue of designing an attractive cover. Cover is all important. I’ve been trying to learn cover design but I want something that stands out, not just designer chic

I think I will just work on the original design, and embellish it. Have a feeling it should be rendered in jade stone with carvings, on a light, creamy background. I think I will paint it, draw it by hand, use a dip pen and Kandahar ink. Then watercolor.

Liew witchy forces attacked, knowing my novella may go big, making a name for myself. They tried to stub my toes again but I escaped. Now piling into my hands.
