Amazing stuff! A massive help to me!
I was wondering though, who did you turn to for artwork? I'm not a terrible artist, but I am far from book cover quality and I don't really know any artists who could help me out. Are there groups online who help with these things?

I did mine myself using Paint Shop Pro 8, a starfield background and two pictures (a galaxy image downloaded from the internet and part of a jack-in-the-box) plust the text tool. Sounds hard but it really isn't. Took me less than an hour following the PSP8 help directions, but I'm used to the program. Might take longer if you're new to it.
Barring that, Amazon will put in a generic cover if you don't upload one.

I got a philipino artist. There is also deviant art. Or I've been told you can go to some universities and try to hire an artist still in school.
meg_evonne seemed to know someone.
Hope we can help people on this thread.
thanks,

Hmmm....I think I would definitely go the route of paying someone with REAL skill to do it. My sketches are good enough to get a general idea across and thats about it.
Thank you guys yet again.

I don't know why it won't let you look inside mine there at the link below. Apparently I missed ckicking something. I did, however, set up a promotion for the book to be available for free for 5 days starting tomorrow (12 May 2012) @ approximately 12:00 pm. If it isn't available then, keep checking back until it is.
