I don't want to write too much on this blog about my books, for that I have my other blog Herbert's Place, but a little advertising here won't hurt.
My latest book 'Mark of the Cobra' has been released this last
weekend by Melange Books, LLC, my publisher. It is an erotic thriller
and not for the faint of heart. I love the cover the cover-artist at
Melange Books designed. I did have some input into the picture. I spent
quite some time looking for suitable pictures on websites that offer
art. I found three pictures I liked. One was a scantily dressed woman
kneeling on a bed, another of a man with two guns, and pictures of a
coiled cobra. I suggested what I envisioned on the cover and the artist
put it together into one pictures and added the title. I'm not trying to
take away from the artist, just thought I'd like to take a tiny bit of
credit. She did a wonderful job and I'm happy with the results. That is
one of the benefits of publishing with a publisher that lets you work
with the artist. We do have some input. It is not easy to come up with
something useful sometimes. It would be much easier if we could contract
an artist like Boris to design and draw a suitable picture, but that
privilege is reserved only for the big authors who work with large print
publishers. It cost a ton of money.
If you're interested in looking at the picture, please visit Herbert's Place.
