Let Me Show You A Brand…

POKER BOY BRAND…

I have been writing Poker Boy stories since 1987. And over the years I tried to settle on a brand look as it became clear that Poker Boy was a main part of my writing. Marble Grant, Ghost of a Chance books and stories, Sky Tate, Pahket Jones, and others like Detective Crunch are all in the Poker Boy Universe.

Finally, with all the learning I have been doing on brands and trademarks, the brand for Poker Boy finally came together with the brilliant help of Stephanie at WMG.

And the look of the covers is finally settled as well.

So firing up a Poker Boy Kickstarter for April and I want to show you the image, the brand, and the covers on the four major collections.

Poker Boy with the red line, the hat, the saying under it, and the four suits under that, all combined, is the new Poker Boy logo and brand.

I will be wearing that logo on a sweatshirt at the licensing expo for one of the three days.

With the covers you can see my author brand and the new look of the covers. This campaign will also have the origin novel and its sequel with new covers as well.

So finally, after 38 years, Poker Boy has a look and a logo and a brand. I can’t begin to tell you how happy this makes me.

And yes, it has me writing more Poker Boy stories.

The link is to check out more about the Kickstarter campaign and be notified when it launches on the 1st of April.
