Making you first dip into the world of the novellist is very daunting. There really is so much written about it and so much conflicting advice. One consistent factor is the design of your front cover. I am no designer, so I went to a local lad who could work within my limited budget. In truth, it cost me a bottle of red wine.

I gave Steve a simple brief and he did me proud. I was pleased with the cover design and, from the feedback readers have given me, it seems his work is also praised by others. This is one of Steve’s recent photos from his website
