Need a new dust jacket cover...

I finished the ebook copy of APoS-NWFO and sent it off to Publishers Weekly, requesting a review. I've also started working on the dust jacket for the hardback. Got the template and set up the background...and find I'm no longer all that thrilled with the passport images I'm using. It feels too oblique. Almost coy.

I'm wondering about having a vintage UK passport and one from Ireland, pre-EU, lying on a table with a copy of his photo partially on them...but that seems just as artsy-fartsy. I don't like the idea of the portrait, anymore. It doesn't really speak to the story. So I'm at a loss.

I'm almost thinking of an image of Brendan standing outside Aunt Mari's home...framed like the picture of him in volume one...but I don't know how I'd set that up. Maybe something kind of like this. Maybe...bigger house or something...aw, I can't think.

I may go out and about, tomorrow...like over to Niagara Falls and just walk around. Haven't been there since before Covid. I've stayed home so damn much working on this, maybe seeing the Falls will clear my head. I dunno.

I also set up a trip to San Antonio for my nephew's wedding, mid-October. Had enough points on Southwest for free fare; all I had to pay for was the EarlyBird. Got three free nights in two different hotels, and paying partial for one. Rental car's at full price, but still...this'll work for me.

Okay...I'm doing my usual crash and burn after finishing writing a story. I'm signing off.
