Description
So hey, I wrote another book! Or more accurately, I wrote a collection of short stories and a novella and stuck them all together in there. And then self-published it, because that's what I do with stuff like that.For the cover design, my goal was to have a basic design that I could re-use--stick another critter in the banner space, change the title, swap the palette, etc. I write a lot of fairy-tale retellings, and so I wanted a design that had a certain storybook feel to it, but which I could also use for...err...series continuity, as it were.
This does not come easy to me. You don't wanna see some of the ones I rejected.
Anyway, there it is and you can buy it in various places!

Been looking to see this stuff collected, you've got a strong voice in your prose and it's awesome.

Love the cover design as well, a very elegant solution. And that quote is absolutely brilliant.

This works for me.^^/ It does gives off the impression of being a fairytale series. It is a good mix between the old feeling of the wallpaper in the background and the clear, more modern comic design of the toad and its enviroments. The colors come off as eerie to me, but that i think is a good thing and create a nice fairytale atmosphere were nothing is what it seems.

Looks great, and I love the quote by Ms Vernon.
I still remember your amazing skill at storytelling from [i]Digger[/i] and I always need something to read, so I'll definitely check it out.

A terrific design that's only slightly overshadowed by the amazing pull quote!

Wonderful. I bought the book.
Hey, how come there's no Kindle version of this on Smashwords? I bought Nine Goblins at the same time, and noticed there is one for that. I'll just convert it using Calibre anyway, but it would've been nice to be able to skip that step!
