Author of THE UNITY SEQUENCE. Doing the right thing for Alderaan reasons since 2012.
Hey there, folks. It’s been a while, what with the Carnaval vacation down here in Brazil and a particularly busy few weeks at the day job. But I’ve still found time to work with the talented Stephanie Mooney on the cover for my upcoming second novel, Venus Rising.

‘Never judge a book by its cover’ goes the old proverb. Which is frankly ridiculous, because how else is a book going to attract a reader?
It’s been a long-held adage in the self-publishing world–well, as long as that’s been around, so about 5 years–that having a professional-quality cover for your work is an absolute must. In case you were doubtful, this article has some industry professionals backing up that advice, along with some interesting observations on reader psychology.
I’m not sure why the title of the article says 2013, though. Did I miss the last few months of 2012 somehow?
