Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
Yes, it was a terrific adventure story which will be familiar to many and told the epic tale of 'Tom Sawyer'.
I remember vividly looking forward to the teacher reading it aloud to the class each afternoon before we left school to return home. The antisipation of waiting for each days episode had us hanging on to every word.
I'm never sure if that teacher knew how powerful the readings would be, in each child's future development.
How do you approach cover design?
This is very important, and never rushed, eventually the title and the picture image on the cover will come to mind and will in some way complement each other. You can never, as the saying goes,
'Judge a book by its Cover'. But the words and cover image is the first chance an author has to
attract their readership.
