Signings and Revised Cover Art

[jimhines]

Announcement the First: I’ll be at Schuler Books in Okemos tonight starting at 7:00, where I’ll be reading, chatting, and signing books. If you’re seeing this, it means you’re invited and should immediately DROP ALL OTHER PLANS and get out there!

Announcement the Second: On Friday, I’ll be at Festibooks, as part of the Ann Arbor Art Festival, along with folks like Tobias Buckell, Saladin Ahmed, Sarah Zettel, and more.

Announcement the Third: Eventually, my books will go out of print, at which point I intend to get them posted for sale as e-books. So I was thinking about cover art, and came up with the following new redesign scheme. What do you think?

I think those designs would have worked better for you if you'd brought them out before the prequel trilogy ruined Star Wars for everybody. :)

What if I write a fifth princess book in which Talia fights Jar-Jar?

I think the only thing standing between you and Gaimanesque sales numbers in that case would be the difficulty in stretching the action out long enough to fill a paragraph. Folks don't buy books they can finish before they get to the cash register.

Jar Jar raised his lightsaber. "Meesa no want to fi---"

"I'm sorry, were you saying something?" asked Talia as Jar Jar's head rolled past her feet.

I mean, that's not even a drabble!
