May 2012 - I am thrilled to announce that I have been signed by US Publisher Zumaya Publications to design book covers for them and I have already began my first project. I've completed the website redesign for R.A.R. Clouston which is now live. I've added a few new book cover designs to my portfolio. I'll be working on book trailers for Helen Hollick, Deborah Cater, and a promotional video for Famous Five Plus this month. I am now the official sponser of the 'Trailer Playing Today' feature on the Famous Five Plus blog! I also have several book cover jackets on the schedule this month - another busy one!

 

April 2012 - I am thrilled to announce that I have been signed on by US Publisher Sourcebooks to design book covers for them! I should receive my first project within a few weeks. Thank you Helen Hollick for the recommendation!! Both covers that I designed for R.A.R. Clouston were recently published. I've added them to my portfolio. I'll be working on book trailers for Helen Hollick, Deborah Cater, and new client Verity Ant this month.

 

March 2012 - I've added new cover designs to my Portfolio Page - have a look! The first quarter continues to be quite busy. I've signed a couple of new contracts and I just completed a cover for John Bartlett for his novel 'Dark Horse' which will be available for purchase this fall. The cover jacket that I designed for David Ebsworth, The Jacobites' Apprentice, is available 1st March through SilverWood Books! I should have three more book covers out this month and a book trailer for Deborah Cater shortly. I am officially listed on the The Historical Novel Society's London conference site under Self Publishing. I am a guest over at Stephanie Keyes' blog too! Another busy month! And Happy Spring everyone!!

 

February 2012 - My big news at present is that I have joined The Historical Novel Society and will be participating in their London 2012 conference this September! The conference site has just gone live so you can check out the details HERE. I hope to meet several of my friends and clients while attending the conference. I will be joining Helen Hollick, Richard Denning, and SilverWood Books' Helen Hart at a table for Self Publishing and Independents. I have added a Testimonials page to the site which contains a lot of great feedback from clients. Also, I continue to sign new clients every week so things are busy and exciting around here again this month. I should have several new cover design to unveil by March as the majority of my projects are close to publication now. Also, I am now listed at a wonderful blog: Famous Five Plus! And don't forget to check out the Book & Trailer Showcase site!

 

January 2012 - Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to a great year as I have several fantastic new clients on board and will continue working with several of my top clients. I have a full production schedule for January working with new clients Pete Johnstone, Bob Clouston, Dave McCall, and
Jacqui Broderick; while continuing to work with Helen Hollick, Richard Denning, Tim Vicary, Deborah Cater, and Renae Lucas-Hall. Once again I'll have the opportunity to work with SilverWood Books
as well this year - highly recommed their publishing services! And Bronwen and I will create a book trailer for Deborah Cater. I've just joined Book Trailer Showcase too - give them a look for a wide variety of book trailers and discover new authors. They will have several of my trailers up shortly - already you can see the trailers that I'd created for Helen Hollick on their site. Cheers!!

 

December 2011 - The holidays are upon us! I wish all of you Seasons Greetings and Bright Blessings for the coming New Year. I am in the process of wrapping up my 2011 production schedule. Then I plan to take a few weeks off before January arrives. I'm working with Renae Lucas-Hall, Tim Vicary and Stephanie Keyes on various projects along with a new website for Sun Jester. I've added eight covers to my print work portfolio, along with one book trailer.

 

November 2011 - This month continues to be a busy time for me. My production schedule is full! I have four book covers, two websites and two book trailers on the schedule. I'm working with Pauline Barclay, Helen Hollick, Richard Denning, Renae Lucas-Hall, Tim Vicary and Stephanie Keyes on various projects. Recently I've begun contributing to Helen Hollick's Weather Wise Blog and I've set up a blog for Avalon Graphics as well; looking for followers on both! Last month I visited our local Renaissance Festival and took nearly 800 photos! View a selection over on Facebook in my album.

 

October 2011 - Another busy month as my business continues to grow! I have recently signed a new contract with Renae Lucas - book cover and website. The New Writers UK Annual Book Festival is showcasing several of my clients - Oct 7th and 8th in Nottingham, UK. I sent seven book trailers to be shown during the festival (for clients Helen Hollick, Jane Gray, Richard Denning, David Zelder, and Ricky Paul). I will continue working with Pauline Barclay on re-designing her book covers for re-release this winter as well. Fall is my favorite time of the year too - cooler weather and our local Renaissance Festival! Happy Halloween ~ Samhain!

 

September 2011 - I've released book trailers for four clients in recent weeks. Take a look at the Video page for new trailers for Bill Hammond, Jane Gray, David Zelder and Richard Denning. Bronwen Harrison of Lumina Music has once again provided the stunning soundtracks. Next up will be the book trailer for Helen Hollick's Pendragon's Banner Trilogy which should be completed this month along with the updated cover jackets. I have a new contract with Deborah Cater for three book covers, and two covers with Pauline Barclay as well. I will be a guest in New Writers UK blog soon too.
