YOU CHOOSE!


My very distinguished friend, Mark, is about to release his second novel. He has reached out to me for help so I thought I would engage all of my blog readers to help as well. He is an awesome writer and would like to engage as many people as possible to be a part of the actual decisions in the actual book writing process. Please see the details below and leave me a comment if you go to the sight to vote. Thanks so very much.

I could use some help. If you've read my profile, you'll know that I’m getting ready to publish my second novel, Boomer at Midlife (write what you know, right?). But I’ve got a problem.

My publisher has selected a cover concept that I don’t really like. There is an alternative, and it’s my preference, but I need some ammo to convince the publisher. Or maybe the publisher is right and I’m wrong, but either way what other boomers think would aid me in making a decision. Would you be willing to go to the baby web site I’ve created for the book and help me select a cover? It will only take a few seconds, but could help me tremendously. Just go to http://www.boomeratmidlife (you can copy and paste the link from this e-mail). From there you'll see the page for "Help Choose the Cover."

On that page, you can see the two designs. Beneath the images is a form. All you have to do is place an X next to the option number you like best. If you want to leave a comment about either cover, that would be appreciated too. Don't forget to hit the send button. The whole thing should only take you a few seconds.Thanks in advance for your help and advice. I only have a short time before my publisher wants a decision, so if you could vote by Monday, noon (Eastern time), February 26, that would be great. Also, if you have other boomer friends who would be willing to help out, feel free to share the web address with them.I'll let you know what ends up getting selected.

Thank you to all who participate.
