APoS-Derry cover

It's settled. This is the paperback cover of A Place of Safety-volume one-Derry. It's been uploaded to Ingram and I should be getting a pdf proof in a few days. It took some back and forth, mainly because I didn't know what the fuck I wanted or how to achieve it, but I like this. Strong. Evocative. Dramatic. It fits.

Emily Jackson of Eliteminds LLC did a great job figuring out what I was asking for and was very patient with me and my adjustments. This is so much better than what I'd have developed.

I think this will be the template for volumes 2 and 3. I'll just change the flags used and the street scene for something of Houston and then of...hell, I dunno yet. Crowd scene from the hunger strike protests? Funeral? Still thinking on that.

With Simon's Murder, moments are starting to nudge me. Add this and do that and have something happen here instead of there kinds of things. Hearing about yet more cops getting away with murder around the US, and now even in the UK, I think my reticence about this story is way out of place. I'm going to make it as mean-assed as possible.

Got a scan of my liver, today, to check some things. I have a report of what they did or didn't do, or something, and I think it says I'm good. At least, not crashing to any problems. But I'll know more when my doctor calls to discuss it...if it needs discussing.

God, I'm tired of getting old.
