Studenting...

I'm putting my ego aside and reading a guide I bought from Bestseller Launch, on how to position your book for great sales...or something. Most of it seems geared to non-fiction books -- how to find inner peace of build a great business kind of stuff -- but there is a section for doing fiction works, with a special emphasis on building a good blurb for the story.

It also emphasizes having a great cover and suggests getting someone professional to do it. I'm not bad when it comes to my covers, but I still go hit and miss, and it seems the fronts of New World For Old and Home Not Home aren't hitting the mark with readers. I like them and especially the progression from innocence to brutal knowledge in the photos representing Brendan. But that could be a part of my ego in the way of objectivity.

I may investigate the cost of that for the paperback versions of the books. See what a third party comes up with. I also may just plain not be able to afford it.

My eyes are crossed. I'm gonna sit in bed and watch a movie...maybe Sense and Sensibility...or Miracle on 34th Street, the 1947 version. The two remakes were ridiculous.
