CM Simpson: Writer & Gamer

I'm a little snowed under, right now, but I thought I'd drop in and show you the new cover I designed for August's short story release. I haven't had any time for new words in the last couple of days as I've been deep in the editing and formatting weeds, preparing Mack 'n' Me: The Transporter's Favour and River's Edge for release. Mack 'n' Me: The Transporter's Favour is now edited and formatted, but will go through an additional beta reading step before being released, so it will be a little delayed, but is coming soon, and River's Edge is edited and formatted, and also waiting beta reading, but looks good for its scheduled release date in early August. The rest of the week will be focused on preparing all bar the last short story for the year, and starting the fourth book in the Mack 'n' Me 'n' Odyssey series. And here's the cover, featuring artwork and photographs sourced from the Dreamstime artists:...

The cover for Rocky Rides the Space Range has just been approved: Rocky Rides the Space Range Ebook Cover Rocky Rides the Space Range PoD Cover When Rocky’s ship stops to resupply at Tallona’s First Moon, Rocky and his classmates head down to the surface. Seeing moon dragons, ice beetles, dangerous butterflies and flowers that grow on the moon’s surface seem like a good way to spend a day. Rocky never expects to have to deal with moon raiders as well. When his little sister runs away to protect the dragon eggs, Rocky’s troubles really begin. Can he sneak out of the base, find his sister, and bring her back without the pirates or moon base security ever finding out? All he knows is that he has to try. Rocky Rides the Space Range is the fourth book in the Otherworld Adventures series, which is set on Rocky’s journey to the world of Tallona, where his parents will farm alongside the aliens who have asked them for help.

So, I wasn't completely happy with the cover for Anna and the Rock Dragons, and I tweaked it some more. It's better, but I'll think about it.

I designed the following covers and cover variations in December 2014:  

Work was achieved in December 2014, despite my son having surgery on a lung collapsing for the second time, and me not being very well post-resignation and post second semester. Still, I don’t think I can complain about this lot.   Overview New words produced: 2,360 Old words revised: 12,161 Works completed: 0 Works revised: 0 Covers created: 3 Works published: 1 (one additional platform) Works submitted: 0 Competitions Entered: 0 Bloggery: 0 Tier 1 Tasks AcademicEssay3— Basofi’s Choice : selected and downloaded cover images and created cover.
