    Default New Book Cover

    I've been working on a new book...this will be my ninth book. And I hope this cover looks good however I am considering a subtitle for it.

    That picture on the cover is me. I took the picture. Besides magic, I have a background in photography too.

    I just wanted to share it with you...

    Enjoy!

    I like it to Mark. However as you're asking for comments I think the background would look slightly better a bit out of focus.

    Hi Mark, out of curiosity what does the MHT stand for after your and Leo's name?

    Thanks

    Egg,
    I wanted the audience to be in focus because of the title "The Roar". It was a decision based on the idea that if there is a "Roaring" sound then there must be a source of that sound.
    I wanted to make sure that the viewer understood that. Plus, if I threw the background out of focus (shallow depth-of-field) then the spot lights would be out of focus too. There was more drama with the stage lighting included. However, like you, I like shallow depth-of-field pics too. It just didn't seem as appropriate in this case.

    Roly,

    MHT stands for Certified Clinical Master Hypnotherapist. Both Leo, and myself, are certified in the same field. In fact, I train and certify hypnotherapists when I have the time, which I usually don't have the time. LOL! And, occasionally, I also train classes of people in the science of influence. Usually, I just do the classes about once every 2 months (or so) and it's always just volunteer work I do for AARP Foundation of Denver, Colorado. I don't get paid for those classes. It's just something I do to help senior citizens find employment in the metro area.

    Thanks for asking though.

    Mark
