The other day my book cover artist, Eric Kiszenia, made some small changes to the TEXT MESSAGE cover. These changes came about as I was discussing ideas with him via Facebook on what the cover of my newest writing project SCRAPING THE BONE would look like. Together we decided the title of TEXT MESSAGE and my name needed to be closer together. He also went ahead and made both bigger in size and added some white beneath the letters of TEXT MESSAGE to make it look like the title was being projected outward a bit. All in all I think the changes look really good and hopefully will be a bit more eye catching as readers browse the Amazon horror and suspense sections. Of course this isn't to say I was unhappy with the original cover -- I was actually blown away with how good it was when the first draft was sent to me back in November -- but the more I looked at it the more I felt something was a bit off. Now, I don't feel that way. It looks perfect to me. What do you all think?

Now, for anyone that is interested in TEXT MESSAGE it is the tale of a girl named Mallory who goes to a Chicago area mall with her little sister a few days before Christmas for some last minute boyfriend shopping. Not long into the shopping Mallory gets a text from her little sisters phone that reads: I HAVE YOUR SISTER. DO EXACTLY AS I SAY OR I’LL KILL HER. After that Mallory must do everything within her power to find her sister, a task that grows more and more dangerous as the day turns to night and the mall's closing time gets closer and closer. The question is will the "game" continue after the mall shuts down and if so how will Mallory go about being unnoticed by security as she attempts to hide herself within?
