Here is the new cover! Stephannie Beman did an awesome job. 😀
This is how the paperback will look once I get it up through CreateSpace (estimated around next week some time. I’m still tweaking on the content of the book to erase the inconsistencies one of my editors found while going through Kent Ashton’s Backstory).

That. is. BEAUTIFUL!!
Thank you. 😀
I love the cover Ruth…Stephannie did such a great job ! Love the back blurb…I’ll need to read this book:-) Thanks for sharing !
For some reason, I’m having a terrible time getting the new cover and file up on Amazon. Have you ever had any problems with KDP when updating a book?
Very beautiful cover, Ruth. She did a great job. 🙂
Thanks. She did. 😀
Ruth, I created a page on my blog to include these two ebooks of yours which I personally found very helpful just after a quick read. You can check it here: http://bookwormsimi.wordpress.com/useful-materials-for-authors/. Hope that you won’t mind. 🙂
I hope it helps other authors. Thanks for sharing! 😀
Very pretty cover. Wondered about the content inconsistencies. God bless.
Yeah, there were a few. It wasn’t bad. I am trying to get the new cover and version up on Amazon and even though Amazon keeps telling me the new stuff is up, it’s not. I’m very frustrated. This is now my fourth attempt. After this, I’m emailing them (not something I’m looking forward to).
Sorry, about all the frustration with getting it through that process. Hope it worked. You do not need that. Lots of love and God bless.
So far the content has not been updated, but the new cover is up so there is progress.
This cover is GORGEOUS. I’ve already read the book (twice) but I really think I might have to get the paperback copy now!
I LOVE how it looks. I’m trying to get the paperback approved. So far, CreateSpace didn’t approve the first try because of too much white space along the edges. I made a second attempt tonight. Hopefully that will go through.
Have you ever had any trouble getting a new version up through KDP? None of my updates have gone up on Amazon even though I’m getting emails that say they cleared through.
Yes! I had to manually update ALL of my books at Amazon to reflect the publisher and they’re still all showing up the old way which irritate she greatly. LOL
Try using Book Cover Pro and just put a white block as the background then drag the picture over it. I did that and for around their picky rules that way once. Hopefully it’ll work for you, too!
Good idea on the white block! I’ll try that if this round of proofs don’t work out.
Ick on what’s happening at Amazon. I checked out the Kindleboards and see other authors are having similar problems that we are. One guy said it took a few days for the changes to show up. Ideally, the changes we want to make will go up by the end of the week. I’m trying to debate when I should send KDP an email. I’m guessing if it’s been a full week, maybe that would be the time to ask about it. It was nice when these things went through in a day or less.
