Final Cover of My Book

On the 7th of December 2008, blogger Namgcobhar suggested using a cover illustration that would entice children. “[A]ren't you missing the hare and the tortoise there? I'm thinking kids might take to those faster that the women; they do judge books by the covers kani!”

I took this wise advice to heart because it made good marketting sense. I decided to change the cover illustration pursuant to Namgcobhar’s suggestion. The new cover is below.



Copies should be ready next week.

warmest congratulations again, i love the look! it definitely takes one to gogo's fire. and as for uncle blenblen, just awesome. which kid won't adore that name ha ha? now i can take a break from inaccurately trying to recall these things and simply say, here, read this, and show it to your friends. the children of the dispora are often overlooked by writers who are obviously preoccupied with about "serious" issues.

Let me know when you want to do a blog book tour at Wealth of Ideas and Moments in Literature. I may feature an interview with you or ask you to make a guest blog entry talking about your book.

Brother Emmanual, thanks for the kind offer. I will gladly do an interview or the blog tour.

You are one of the twelve people earmarked to get a free copy of the book as soon as I receive the first batch from the printer. May I suggest you read one of the stories, there are ten, and then you can decide the better of the two options as per your suggestion.

Again, thanks for your kind offer.

Thank you for thinking about me as a recipient of a copy. It will be nice to shot Uncle Blenblen at WOI.
