Many of you have downloaded and read my novelette, The Work of His Hands. When I wrote it and was ready to give it to you, I didn’t want to pay a cover designer. I tried to do it myself with a combo of AI and Canva. The result was very underwhelming, but it was all I had.
Recently, I learned some things about cover creation with AI and Canva, and I put that new knowledge to the test! (Thank you, Grace Hitchcock!) The result? What I believe to be a much better cover! Do you agree?

This summer, I plan to release a new novelette as a gift for my newsletter subscribers. It will connect to a secondary character in my upcoming novel and hopefully whet your appetite for that story. I can’t wait to share it with you!
It makes me happy to be able to gift something to you, dear readers, for you give so much encouragement to me!
New cover is very very good!
Thanks! I’m so thankful to have learned a few helpful tips!
I love it.
Yay!!!
Lovely cover on all levels! I have font envy!
Ha! I did think those fonts were particularly wonderful. I’m glad you like it!
Gorgeous fonts! Especially the ones for your name. BTW…. thank you for the generous shout-outs in your newsletter! I’m looking forward to your next novel 🙂
Thank you!
Yes the new cover is more effective.
Thanks! I thought it turned out better. 🙂
I like the new cover. Thanks for the novelette.
Of course! I hope you enjoy it!
I like the corner scrolling. The cover makes me think of Big Bend or west of Wichita Falls. It’s easier to see the stars.
I love the corner scrolling, too!
It’s beautiful!
Thanks!
I love the softness of the new cover. The colors are wonderful!
They are so much better than my first try!
