Wordless Wednesday: The Four Month MakeOver

Or my new book covers that is. You wouldn’t believe how long a rebranding process takes.

Four months in the making, you’re among the first to see the new look for my eBooks. Since this post is supposed to be “wordless” I’ll save you the back story on process.

In the meantime, here’s two out of the four of the new look. Will share the other two as part of a regular post for those interested in publishing in multiple genres.

What do you think? Love? Hate? Have your own tips for rebranding?

Wordless Wednesday: Love Wins

In July 2012 I published a book I had worked on for three years. Love Comes Later is the most expensive title on my list of eBooks, not to the customer but to me.

Editors’ fees, a failed cover design, and proof reading time pushed the launch date again, then yet again.

Imagine how thrilled I was to find out this same title won in the Romance category of the Best Indie Book awards!

I could say how patience pays off, or how long a lead time you need for people to realize you’re a writer… but for now, I’ll simply celebrate.

Wordless Wednesday: What's in a Name?

We had our second son last week. You would think 9 months of pregnancy would prepare you to name someone. And yet, my husband and I could not agree.

We are both Asian Americans, me from India, he from Laos by way of his parents. Some names were too mainstream and others too niche. I wanted something distinctive, he wanted something that wouldn’t keep the kid from being hired (yes, 20 years from now).

Arabs loved the more obscure of my suggestions; my husband’s Caucasian co-workers balked at those ideas.

Here’s a snapshot of our process and how our El Segundo (the second in Spanish) finally got a name.
