I can’t be the only one in the published author world who is always wanting to stay on top of promoting their books. Despite all of the options out there, I know I don’t have the time to keep up and am always grateful for something to help my books be seen in new and exciting ways. So…
Wanted to take a moment to show off the really cool 3D cover promotions created for my books, by the one and only Christopher Graham! That’s right, Chris announced recently that he is offering this opportunity to those of us who have published books out in the marketplace, to have something new and different with which to display our titles. I jumped on this because, well, I think my books are pretty cool and this is a cool idea.
I have a few different designs to play with, which makes it even more fun and I love the way it makes my books look like, REAL BOOKS! Generally I ‘m flashing a picture of a flat book front, but now I can rock it out with something that makes someone want to pick it up and give it a read
Take a look at the covers for the 3 books I recently published on Kindle. Pretty cool, eh?
Of course there are several other display options and you can always work with Chris to customize to your specific needs.
I took one other design and created a Facebook banner which showcases all my books covers as though they were a boxed set. (visit my Facebook page to check that out)

Bookmarked 🙂

Wouldn’t Babies of Two look cute like this?

Yes! Is it too late? Createspace goofed once again. They have Babies of Two up, but not listed under the title, only by our names. I hesitate to announce anything official for fear no one will find it. Hoping Createspace everything worked out by the end of the week. I could have climbed a skyscraper by now!!!
