I can’t believe how much work I’ve been getting done since I quit Bookface yesterday. I clicked “Deactivate Account” and instantly, marvelously, regained all my pre-bookface ambition. It was incredible. I literally whirled off like a wonderfully productive, and fairly attractive top. Completing this, achieving that. I got it all done-AND- I even had some time left to redesign a few book covers that sorely needed updating. (segue)
You can’t judge a book by it’s cover- but that doesn’t mean it has to look like shit. To my mind, there’s nothing more inexcusable than poor cover design, and, let’s be honest, there are some absolute abominations on the shelves these days.
I’m not pointing fingers or naming names. That would be both pointless and thoroughly mean spirited. However, I will say that Francis Cugat has been rolling in his grave for far too long, and I’ve had enough.
So, I’ve mocked up a few ideas and sent them off to Penguin. I’ll probably be eating roast swan aboard my coke-yacht by the end of next week.

Anyway, that’s all for today. It’s a sunny Saturday outside and I’ve some loafing to do.
Good day, sir.
