I can’t stay quiet any longer. There’s an elephant in the Cover Wars room that needs to be addressed.
The wonderful people at Author Shout who host the Cover Wars contest have pitted me against a good friend. Two good friends, in fact. One wrote a book of poetry and the other designed her cover. The first is the lovely Judy E. Martin, of Rhymes of the Times fame, and the second is Chris Graham, aka The Story-Reading Ape.
If I wasn’t competing this week, I would totally be supporting Judy and Chris every step of the way. But alas, this can’t be so. War is war, after all, and one must stick up for oneself.
Having said all that, the main point of Cover Wars, for me anyway, is exposure for my novelette, All Good Stories. I’m sure Judy is thinking the same thing. So while you’re there today voting for my cover ( 😀 ), please also check out Judy’s. Each cover, when clicked, will take you to the book’s Amazon page. Why don’t you click on over and buy Judy’s book?! I haven’t read it yet, but if I know Judy, it’s awesome! Here’s the link to Author Shout, Cover Wars for the vote: http://authorshout.com/cover-wars/ You can cast your vote once every 24 hours.
This is my beautiful cover, (drawn with love by the ever-talented Belinda Borradaile) for you to vote on:
And here’s Judy’s! You can click on it here to go directly to its Amazon page, too.
Thanks so much!

What a lovely thing to do Linda. I would love it if my readers would check out Linda’s book too of course.
It is unfortunate that we are both featured in the same week! 🙂
