Covers on my bed and in my head

If you follow me on Facebook, you already know I have been sick for the last several days. Bleugh... That's unfun in a big, fat, lousy, whiny, Oh-God-when-is-it-going-to-end kind of way. So I won't bore you with the details, other than to say I have been in bed for much of the last few days (hence the covers on my bed).

Meanwhile, I have been thinking about a new cover for Between and was able to do a little research online today. I can't afford to have a pro do the cover, so I have to rely on my own piece-it-together skills (until the cash starts rolling in- ha!). I found a great site I wanted to share with you, in case you were in the same boat.

You can get royalty-free images that can be used for book covers at www.sxc.hu. Some beautiful stuff there (700 pages in the "playing with light" section alone!).

If you made your own book cover, share tips and tricks on how you did it. If you do graphic design and feel the need to help out poor pitiful me, all the better (said through a cloud of antihistamines, so I may have to strike that pitiful plea later).

I raise my hot toddy to you and hope you stay clear of the fug!
