Cheesiest Book Cover
When I started sketching this cover, I wanted an eyesore–something that screamed amateur. It’s not quite as bad as I intended because I couldn’t make myself use Comic Sans. My eyeballs got in the way, but the jagged edges on the target add a little something.
Next week, I’ll begin posting The Invader’s Guide to Earth by Nrrlian Imperial Observer Merl–his human name, not his real name. (He says his real name’s pronounced like Rastafarian with Ms for the Rs and Ls for the As, or maybe it’s Ts for the As. Whatever…My poor human tongue can’t pronounce it.)
It’s experimental science fiction, satire, and at times just plain bizarre. (I still don’t understand why Merl thought his bosses needed to know about bride’s maids and butt bows. Apparently, his bosses didn’t either.)

About Me
Words are my paintbrush. I've published technical articles and several small blips of fiction. An avid reader since age four, my sister once accused me of reading the words off the cereal box. Now, I can't imagine life without books and writing. With my Kindle in hand, I'm making my way through a long list of indy authors with a few traditionals thrown in for fun. Book reviews, baking tips, bread pictures, knitting, my latest computer meltdown/headache, relevant software reviews, rants about useless products and/or stupid politicians, odes to oolong tea...no topic's off limits.
My interesting, but rarely used education:
- BA Political Science; UGA 2004
- BA International Affairs; UGA 2004
- MA International Commerce and Policy; George Mason 2008

LOL! Yeah, there’s amateur, and then there’s just plain clueless. HA!
With a lead-in like this, I have to see where you take it.

Thanks!
All I have to do now is NOT fix the jagged edges, punch up the text, and add a little gradient to the background… I swear I won’t…
FYI: Your front page isn’t updating with your new posts. The last one I am seeing at:
