cover designer part II
I did indeed find a cover designer to work with. Surprisingly enough, she’s local. I found her by accident while surfing around, checking out a local web designer. Her site was in his portfolio.
She took me on after checking out my site (this one). I guess she wanted to answer some of her own doubts about me. Although I understand fears about the sleaze factor, I realized another reason why it’s hard to find a professional to work with me: they’re worried I’m not professional.
i’m scary
I had to post this. I really can’t believe it.
I’m at the point where I can start seriously looking for a cover designer for my book(s). I want a simple design, mostly type, with a magazine-style illustration. Nothing outrageous or overtly sexual, in fact, I’d like to stay away from that. So I’m querying freelance cover designers, much like I queried freelance editors. The response is the same too, that is, when they bother to even write back.

Personal Update (7/2/08)
Book #2 is on its way. Slowly. But getting there.
I'm finally ready to rejoin life. Slowly, too.

I've discovered the pleasure of working with Brian Gardner's WP themes. His free stuff is nearly flawless and his more expensive stuff is mind-blowing. Although his work is easy to use right out of the box, there's infinite fun to be had by customizing (i.e., destroying) it. As you can see here.
