I'm not using this as a tool to 'sell' on this website, but I am using this as a way to tell my Vince fans that I helped design a book cover that the book has now been published! Too Cool!!!!!!!!
I've been friends with an online acquaintance now for over 15 years! She and I have met, attended concerts together, and even went to Clay Walker's fan club party and met again this past June. This friend has written a romance novel, and she used Clay Walker as her model for the male character - Jeff Walker -. I have read the first 3 chapters of her book online, and the full book is now in print. I can't wait for my shipment to come in so I can finish reading the entire book!!!! YES, shipment!  My whole family wants a copy of her book because I HELPED!!!!! Yeah, right! I designed a cover!!!!!!!!! I'm proud that I helped design the cover! My idea and my design was used, and I am being acknowledged for my efforts in her dedication page! I'm excited!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE is more than excited!! It's her first publication, and she's already on Chapter 17 of her NEXT book!!!!!!!!! |

That is super!!! You have every right to be proud of that accomplishment. You may have a new vocation in designing book covers - bet she asks for your input on the next one! Way to go!!

I read the book -- - IT IS GOOD!!!!!!!
My friend had someone else edit her book before she published it, and a lot of things were missed - you know improper grammar and punctuation - - - but the storyline is so danged good - who cares! I loved the story! |

Sandy's book is starting to sell now. We are both excited!
Clay Walker's fan club members are interested in it. I think THEY will love the book more than anyone! Cool, huh? Just think if Vince was the 'model' for a book - - - we all would be dying to read such a novel! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

That's cool that Clay Walker's fan club members are interested in it! I like Clay, and would like to be in his fan club, but right now I'm trying to not spend any money except on food/groceries...at least until I get a job...then maybe I'll splurge sometime after the New Year.
