The Beast ebook cover

I was a Nashville musician and I worked the road, the Opry, sessions and TV for over 20 years with a number of country artists, including Stonewall Jackson, Little Jimmy Dickens, Red Sovine, Ray Price, Ernest Tubb, Faron Young and a few others. I used to while away the hours on long trips reading mysteries in my bunk on the bus, and then I thought, why not write one of my own? So I did, and this is it. See more at my writer site.

Scam – don’t fall for this

An email scam I got from gxecard.com a few days after I registered a new domain for a client. Domain name search engine registration? I don’t need no stinkin’ registration. Anyone can list a domain with Google or Bing at any time at no cost. Why would you pay a Chinese company to do it?

Author Peter Higgins

We did 6 ebook covers for Mr. Higgins in November. He says:

“As an author who has worked on over a dozen books, the need of a creative desktop publisher is central to success in the competitive online world of publishing. Having worked with Cal, I feel fortunate beyond measure to have found a creative force that understands the needs of the author to be able to translate the author’s vision onto the front page. After spending thousands of hours on a book, the value of a subtle yet intriguing book cover is what ultimately makes the difference whether a reader will take a chance on your work. Be wise. Work with a creative director who has the tools to bring your vision into reality. There are many book cover creators out there today so finding a tested producer of quality material is a beacon in the messy marketplace of online publishing. Cal Sharp is the real deal.”

“I can only highly recommend the services of Cal Sharp though I hope your book isn’t the same genre as mine.”
