Finally got the official cover art for A Thousand Suns by Jim Haberkorn, after several drafts. I feel like it's still a bit too drab and staid, and doesn't project enough of the humor or action aspects of the story, but I really like the typeface and text design.

I just got to see the mock-up of the cover for the second book by Jim Haberkorn, the RL author whose books I have helped to edit. I'm not sure if I can give the title yet, and in any case it may still change, but the working title's acronym is ATS. (His first novel, published in March 2011, is Einstein's Trunk.) I honestly wasn't that impressed with the cover; I hope they change it. But in any case, it's very exciting to see the process moving forward, and I'm really happy for Jim. I expect that it will be published later this year. And he is working on the third in the series!

ETA: Jim has told me the publication date is scheduled for March 2013. So, a while to wait yet.

Jim Haberkorn, the author of Einstein's Trunk, has started a new author's blog which promises to give some insight into the writing of this, his first novel, and getting it published.

P.S. I worked with him on editing it, and he has a sequel well underway that is just as exciting!

P.P.S. You can pre-order Einstein's Trunk now through any major online bookseller. It is being released on March 8 of this year.

In RL, I edited a novel for a friend of mine, and it's now been picked up by a publisher in Utah, Cedar Fort. Which is actually a bit weird, since they specialize in LDS works, and ET (as I'll call it, the initials of the working title, I'm not sure if I can reveal any more details until contracts are in place etc.) is not LDS at all. It's more like a cross between Dan Brown and John Le Carre. Anyway, we're both very excited. It's a fun story and I hope it gets a wider readership.
