Biography

A crazy fish who lives in a mangrove paradise. Daydreamer. Professional Procrastinator. Likes the smell of bees and the buzz of flowers. Claims to be the most interesting author in the world, who has fought against lions in the Serengeti, trekked with penguins across the Antarctica, makes a mean chicken Parmesan. But I digress.

Smashwords Interview

How do you approach cover design?
Cover design starts with a metaphor, an strong visual idea that represents the core of the book. Even with good ideas, you still need the skills to design eye-catching covers, so I trawl free options first. Some artists offer free covers, but you need a discerning eye to make sure that the artist isn't giving away lemmings. Barring free options, I try to look at pre-made covers or low cost cover designers who provide good value for their talent. There are enough artists out there who fit the bill, with the explosion of self-publishing.
What do you read for pleasure?
I like to read fantasy for pleasure.
