Cover Fun!!

Collection Covers…

As I have said in a number of other blogs, I am going to try to publish 75 major books in my 75th year.

And the main part of the challenge has two parts. To get myself back really writing next year, or later this year, I have to have all my short stories published in one series of collections. Problem is, I let publishing my short fiction get years behind.

And I have a lot of stories. I figure it will be over 60 collections to handle the 600 plus short stories, 10 stories per collection with no repeats. That will be a main part of the challenge to publish 75 major books. A ton of work, but my learning curves and clean-up are getting closer, so today I went out and got a bunch of stuff to keep me organized in all the steps of every book.

And tonight I did 6 of the first seven covers for the collections, the first one was already done a few months back for a bundle.

Not only will I get these published wide during the challenge, but I will also do a number of Kickstarters with these as well as get some of them into my Patreon.

Also, another part of the challenge is to ease back up Smith’s Monthly and get that to my Patreon folks as well.

75 major books published will be a real push, but if I can manage it, the decks will be clear for my creative voice to get back writing at full speed. And damn I am looking forward to that.

Anyhow, here are the covers for the first seven collections. They are not numbered or anything stupid like that. Just part of my “Collections Project” as I am calling it. About time most of these stories saw the light of day.
