Thin Slices Cover Reveal!
On October 5, I announced my upcoming debut, Thin Slices, a collection of flash fiction horror. Today I'm excited to reveal the cover for Thin Slices.
I love this cover. I think it's unnerving and perfect for my collection. I had been building this collection for a while but did not have a title. Then, I was browsing some pre-made covers by Ruth Anna Evans, and this one jumped out at me. As soon as I saw it, my title popped into my head.
I first met Ruth Anna Evans on Twitter/X. From there, I came to know her art and writing. I even interviewed her for The Horror Tree for the 2023 Women in Horror series. Ruth Anna Evans is a kind, friendly, talented person. She was very quick with the cover and, knowing I was a newbie, even pointed out a few things I was missing. Covers are only one of her talents. She is also a horror writer with many titles out. Her writing style is much more graphic than mine, so be prepared if you read her work!
Why a Pre-Made Cover?
I am self-publishing this collection, which is something I have never done before. I wanted to keep my costs manageable, but I don't have the skills to make my own covers. I also refused to generate a cover, because I support artists. Pre-made covers are excellent. They are cost-effective and you can still find the perfect cover. I recommend them to anyone who is also embarking on their own self-publishing journey.
Keep an eye on this space for further updates on Thin Slices and my self-publishing debut, including when I open up pre-orders next month.
