For those of you who don't know him, Aidan B from down under (please, indulge me for a second, I can't resist: THROW ANOTHER SHRIMP ON THE BARBIE!) has been participating in my cover making contest. I just wanted to share some of his latest entries with all of you so you can bask in his awesomeness with me. Aidan, you are The Executioner. Some day I'm gonna have to write a book about you.
Super hugs, xoxo Elle
Aww shucks. I suppose I can indulge you, regardless of the fact we don’t even call them shrimp here haha.
I’m trying to decide which is my favourite so far, I think I’m tossing up between the white one top left and the archwayish one not shown 🙂
It’s been a lot of fun making them, So thanks for giving me something interesting to do even though I’ve had to look at countless photoshop tutorials to work out how to do anything 🙂 🙂
All in the name of getting Apocalypsis to my eyes that much faster!!
That line is from one of my favorite all-time movies, perhaps I should be ashamed to admit: Dumb and Dumber. But, no matter what, Aidan, you’ve earned a special place in my heart for your dedication. I’m tossing around the idea of doing a promotional world tour kind of thing, but virtual, where I give readers on different continents advance copies of one of my books. You could represent Australia if you’re interested!! xoxo Elle
OMG totally Fanned-out just now haha. Sounds oh….you know, AWESOME.
Not hard to be dedicated, if you keep pumping out good stories 🙂 A good book is something I always wanted as currency in my fantasy world but I don’t think I could handle spending hard earned stories to survive. I’d be a hoarder for sure 😛
P.S. Don’t ever be ashamed to admit that! Perhaps I should be ashamed to support the film choice?
Nah. Let’s all just admit to being uncool and carry on. Consider yourself a part of the tour. I’ll send you the deets later (see, now that was cool, right? ‘deets’ instead of ‘details’? Right? Cool?) I promise you, my children will read this post and roll their eyes while they tell me that I’m a hopeless case. I will never ever be cool. *sigh*
It’s a hard life, DW just shorten a lot of your sentences down to the first letters and eventually you’ll wean your way into the cool crowd. And then make a few up. K GTG TTYL HYHAGD
Don’t worry … Got to go … talk to you later … hype your heart away god dammit? hack? hug? Damn. I was so close…
Your mother thinks you’re WAY cool! And I love the overgrown steps. Maybe not quite as scary as you want the cover to be but I think it subtly says it all. Good job, Aidan!!
Super hugs, Momma. xoxo Elle
Very nice covers! I might have to bribe you to do my next one!
You’re not suggesting that … nah, you wouldn’t. (Aidan, don’t listen to him. You just keep making those covers, man.)
Why do u need anyone making your covers when u can just take pictures of your self around the house drinking beer and put that on a cover….. lol On a serious note, Im having trouble deciding which cover I like best, Top left, or bottom left… both are good though!
I should just hire Old Muskrat Head and be done with it.
The upside is you could pay him in cheap beer! Win, win for everyone!
Done! You’re now my agent.
I like the way you’re going with this, Dave. Are you his business manager? Can you commit him to contracts? 🙂
That’s a good point!
I am very bribable…bribeable? Gah. I have fun doing it though, so write good stories and thats all I usually need 🙂
haha DW Elle, I can keep churning out covers for you. eventually you could probably go through them all and just select one for each new book 🙂
P.S. you need a like button thats not necessarily related to facebook so I can like some comments here -_-
Hugs. You’ll just have to go old school on the like button: just hit reply and type “like”. 😉
Like.
I have to admit that your covers are excellent Aidan but that’s not surprising really..
After all most of us Aussies ARE rather awesome…lol
That would be my impression! And, btw, Aidan, what do you call shrimp down there??
Margaret,we Down Under call them prawns.
Throw another prawn on the barbie! Hmmmm… doesn’t have quite the same ring, does it? 🙂
Hehe….It does to us..
I cringed when Paul Hogan said he’d throw another shrimp on the barbie in his Aussie tourist commercial…It’s a prawn,Hoges for chrissakes….lol
Yeah, but us dumb Americans only know the Dumb and Dumber version, so if he had said ‘prawn’ we’d all have been, like, “Whaaaat?” I mean, we use the word prawn too, but the line is FAMOUS. (so, so proud)
Well you’ll have to do a tour of our little island and we can settle this the respectable way..Barbie tongs over the hotplate….
Well, if I get enough Aussie fans, I just might have to do that. 🙂 I’ve always wanted to check it out.
I have been singing your praises so I’m pushing the Casey wheelbarrow so to speak…
Love it! What a great expression. I need to get my books in paperback so can actually put a pile of them in a wheelbarrow and run them around my town too (since the French don’t use Kindles). haha
Slightly off topic but I read somewhere on your site ( and buggered if I can find it ) about a continuing Fae series you have in the mix..something about the Otherworlds? Please excuse an old man for his occasional lapse of memory but I really would like to follow Jane and see how deep in the crap her potty mouth will take her…
Buggered. Another awesome word. Yes, the series is “Clash of the Otherworlds” and will come out in 3 books, September, October, and November (last day of each month).
My kindle is shaking with anticipation….
Thank you for chatting to me.. It,s 7.50 PM here and am now going to indulge in a bowl of icecream wth choccy topping..Ciao for now xoxox
Bon appetit!
