Actually, he strikes me as more gorilla-like than monkey. I'd pick up Monkey Face before the Mausoleum cover, but then read at least 3 pages or all of Chapter One before<br />making a buy (sound like a drug transaction?).robert knightlyhttp://robertknightly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794927480752850942.post-40956519350709680532013-08-30T19:44:51.826-04:002013-08-30T19:44:51.826-04:00Superb! tjsSuperb! tjsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794927480752850942.post-19669248023790513372013-08-30T17:25:17.796-04:002013-08-30T17:25:17.796-04:00Yes!

Perhaps a couple of words. Or a blurb on the cover could get that point across. I am so impressed that you can design covers as well as produce what's inside.

You'll be happy to know that the paperback from CreateSpace is only $8.99, though you might want to hold off on that for a few weeks, since it still has the scary cover: http://www.amazon.com/Monkeystorm-Kate-Gallison/dp/1484169689/<br /><br /> I still don't know how to suggest on the cover that the book is funny without making it look stupid. Looks like I need to do some research.Kate Gallisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06107289413804236810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794927480752850942.post-19182880992968690052013-08-30T08:41:37.622-04:002013-08-30T08:41:37.622-04:00Kate, I am replying to your request, both as a pot...Kate, I am replying to your request, both as a potential reader and as a writer. The new cover has elegance and grace. I would pick it up and look at the first page... The other one has always scared the daylights out of me. I would not touch it. Truth be told, au fond, I am not one of those readers who go much, however, by covers. I know, however, by the end of page one whether I want to spend the $29.95 and a couple of rapt hours with the book. Best of luck with this one. tjsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
