My Name is Getting Bigger


I've lined up my five book covers from earliest to latest, left to right, top to bottom.

And I've noticed that my name becomes larger on each succeeding title. It can't have anything to do with the cover artist, because I've had two different ones. The first three covers are by Nicola Martinez, and the last two by Rae Monet.

Does the progressive increase in the size of my name mean anything? I doubt it. The name size is probably a function of the cover composition.

If nothing else, I like all my covers. I'm especially happy with my latest for An Inheritance for the Birds, mainly because it has ducks on it, and I love ducks. Quack.

Thank you all,
Linda

NaNoWriMo at 48,104 words, December RWR, and Pumpkinnapper cover

Several things today.

First, my NaNoWriMo count is 48,104, according to Microsoft Word. I'm going to push it to 50,000 tomorrow and then leave it. I planned the story to be 90,000 to 100,000 words, so I'm about half done. I've outlined the rest and I'll flesh it out later.

Second, I was supposed to guest blog today at the Simply Romance Reviews blog, but their last post is for November 17, and I have no idea what's going on. More info when I find out.

Third, for those of you who belong to the RWA, check the inside front cover of the December issue of RWR for The Wild Rose Press ad. My cover for Lady of the Stars is on the bottom row. I received my copy yesterday, so yours should arrive soon. The ad looked great on the computer proof they sent us, but on glossy paper, it's beautiful.

And, last but not least, I just received my cover for Pumpkinnapper. Another gorgeous cover from Nicola Martinez, who also did the Lady of the Stars cover. Pumpkinnapper's expanded blurb and excerpt are on my website on my Books page.

Happy Thanksgiving. And now for my Thanksgiving joke (Don't groan too loudly). Thanksgiving: The one day in the year we give thanks for turkeys.

Thank you all,
Linda
