Monthly Update! So, my publication date is now 11/1/2016. Much closer. I have 3 days left to finish my line edits. I’m on schedule. That stuff is boring.
WE HAVE COVERS TO VOTE ON!!!
Okay. Here is the deal. Tweet me @crankybolt or email me, or even comment here. Each of these covers is a design direction.
Not the final cover. By any stretch. These are just looking at which avenue we should head down.
Option #1
This cover is filled with arcane imagery in an organic cover design where text blurs with the artwork. If you think we should head in this direction, even with different colors and would like to see more usages. Vote for this one.
Option #2
This cover is closer to the original cover art. The intent of this design path is to create something that is more like an arcane tome. A spellbook one could hold. If you like this direction. Vote here!
Option #3
This one is the most off putting at first. Yet it’s important to know that this is just a place holder for an Illustrated cover with a character (Mike) in his green trenchcoat with the black sun on the horizon. Or of his coat tattered on an I-beam above the Chicago Skyline. I know it may be hard to visualize, but if you like that design direction. Vote here!
Option #4:
Don’t like any? Then say so!
Send me your gut reactions and your initial feedback! Tweet them out, email me, or throw paper rocks at me with notes on them.

I’ve got a deal in the very beginning, baby steps; if you haven’t yet reviewed One Murder More on Amazon could today be the day? It might help to move that deal along! You don’t have to have purchased it on Amazon to review it there.
Log in as you would to buy anything on Amazon, enter my name or One Murder More in the search bar (or use link below), scroll down to "leave a review" & choose a star total. That’s it!
You can leave a phrase or sentence e.g., "Looking forward to the next one", "Loved Camper the dog!", but it’s not necessary.
If you gave the book to a friend or family member and are comfortable passing along this request to them to review it, that would be awesome, too.
Thank you for all of your kindnesses and support!
Kris

"An unlikely band of heroes—some of whom are trying to kill one another—must gather together in order to save their world from the return of an ancient menace in an excellent, irreverent mix of sword-and-sorcery fantasy and SF. Adams’s flippant tone recalls Terry Pratchett, taking the skewering of tropes down a very dark path as he establishes a fantasy world built from the ashes of a technological one." -- Publisher’s Weekly
