You Oughta Be In Pictures
Okay- I understand the visual appeal in promoting our books, but this is just not anywhere in my comfort zone. I have never joined so many on-line sites or had so many usernames and passwords in my life. Unfortunately, the book I chose to work on, Keturah and Lord Death, does not lend itself well to finding appropriate pictures. Flickr is a compilation of users’ photos and I didn’t think I could hope for photos of Death, the plague, early village life and the Grim Reaper. So with some help from Donna and Carlene, I accessed some other copyright-free sites to obtain what I could. I then registered with BigHugeLabs to design a poster. Since I didn’t edit, I’m not overly pleased with the results, but I don’t think I can spend more time on this one. I also made a postcard that is currently housed on Flickr and I have not yet been able to find it. So hats off to those of you with strong creative and technological ability, because it sure ain’t me!
By the way, the line under the title says- “A chance meeting in the forest-a battle of wills and wits.”
I like words!!
Ok- I redid the poster and realized I could import it in a bigger size so hopefully this will look a little better!
I went back to the small size as it was messing up my page- wish there was an intermediate size to upload.

Hi Jane – this looks great! I am also having trouble getting FLickr pictures to post. we’ll have to collaborate.
HI JANE,
I have enjoyed all of your postings to date and your visuals are really super. I think most of us can appreciate the time and “fiddling” it has taken for you to get these thoughts and images up and running, but you are really doing a great job. Good for you!
