Wow! Congrats and I love that cover! Who did it for you? It's gorgeous. Your book sounds seriously so interesting. Did you self-publish or traditional? I'm debating right now about which to really push for and am trying to get opinions.
Best of luck!!! It really looks fantastic!

Thanks. I wrote the quotes too. Mom and Dad are gone, but it's what they would have said. Hopefully you'll find the book as witty as the cover.

I did the cover layout and text, but a talented gal from the Netherlands did the art: https://honnojisart.wixsite.com/honnojisart (Dig around on the internet, and you can find a lot of amazing artists willing to work cheaply. Famke, who did my cover art, charged $450, which was based on $250 base character (the girl in foreground), but there were add-ons for the clown in BG, BG wall art, and some other changes I put in. A friend had a guy in Malasia do a whole comic book for him for like $2000. Yea, it's a lot of money, but you get what what you pay for...) It's self published. Which is great if you want it published. But it's a whole different world in terms of SELLING the book. I've sold very few copies (like, 20.) The thing about traditional publishing is they have a marketing department that no authors can match. Amazon ads seem to only be good for charging me money, not actually selling books.
