Hi Everyone,

I used Xara DesignPro 9 to design the cover of my first novel AND format the interior of the print paperback as a PDF. It's 302 pages and available now on Amazon.

If you click 'Look Inside' You can see the formatting.

That Art Center training is paying off.

Good luck with the sales.

Did you do the cover illustration as well?

Good-looking cover. Congratulations with the publication of your first novel. That must be a great feeling!

Given the subject matter and depth of knowledge shown in the opening chapter, it would be a very brave critic that finds anything negative to say!

I wish you success!

..please step away from the guitar case now..

Thanks everyone, it's an amazing feeling and I can't wait to dive into the next one. Yes Gary, I hired a model, did a photoshoot, and created the cover in Photoshop and DP. Thanks Paul for reading the first chapter.

Now that I've done this, I pretty much have a template and process that I can repeat and follow. Eventually, I hope to have a handful of novels available and then I'll return to finishing my graphic novel.
