My favourite book covers of 2013
One of my favourite parts of self-publishing my books is choosing the right cover. In the past I have used my own artwork, or photographs that have caught my eye in some way.
For me, the important thing is that the cover should reflect what is inside the book. I love art and I've always liked browsing bookstores just to look at the book covers. Some of them are very eye-catching and I've sometimes bought a book just because I like the cover so much!
I thought it would be nice as an end of year list to choose my favourite book covers of 2013.
I'm going to include the covers of my books, Delusion and Dreams, and 3, both of which were published this year. I love the photographs on the covers.
Here are my favourites from this year. (I'd also be interested in hearing about yours, so if you have any favourites, please comment with a link so we can all see!)

Lots of great FREE books!!!
I've heard about a few free book promotions that some of my author friends are doing at the moment. I think all of these will be worth a read, so you should grab them while they're free.
One free promo that is going on only for the next couple of days is: Nine Lives, a wonderful collection of short stories by the brilliant author Terry Tyler.
If you've never read any of her books, this short story collection is a fabulous way to sample her style. She writes contemporary fiction and creates very real characters. She's one of my favourite authors. When I pick up one of her books I always know I'll enjoy it.
Get your free copy of Nine Lives on Amazon worldwide between 5th - 7th August 2014.

Michael Pugh is giving away pdf copies of all of his books at the moment. I'm not sure how long this offer will go on for, so grab yours now :)

Last but not least, Effrosyni Moschoudi is giving away both of her books on Amazon between 7th - 11th August 2014.
I'll be downloading both books. I haven't read her books, but they sound fascinating.
