Oh nice, definitely in a better marketing spot relative to most published authors.

What did you do for cover art?

I had several really nice pieces of art done by a friend that is super talented. Then the design company I worked with threw them out and designed an award winning cover! :)

Post a picture if you can and please check in every once in a while to post some comments about the process and things like that - hope to undergo a similar process in a few years.

haha - good point. Didn't think about that.

I've thought about that too - and figured that if / when I published something I probably want to do it under a pen name

How many words do y’all shoot for in a novel? What would be an ideal range for a first novel?

They say about 50 to 60k, especially for a debut
