Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
I don't remember the first story I read but I remember the first piece I wrote. It was a poem written in grammar school about Santa Claus and was typed and posted on a bulletin board at the school entrance. The first story I wrote, Eliab's Lament, had shepherd-boy David's oldest brother complaining about the boy's interest in fighting Goliath. David finished by commenting, "Besides, yonder giant has a broad forehead."
How do you approach cover design?
The only things that interest me about a prospective read is the blurb and the price. My first offering to the market has a plain green background, my personal emblem (pendant design) in watermark, and the title/author. I expect I will have to update to something more eye-catching later.
