Thanks for the friend invite. 

Hello Aidana,

Thankyou for your invitation, which I am very happy to accept.  I'm new to this site and it's good to have at least one friend.

I've joined the site because I'm a fairly new author and have published four books in the past two years.  I'm currently writing my fifth; a novel.  I love writing but I have problems with marketing and hope to learn a lot from other members.

Your work looks amazing and perhaps we can work together when my new book is ready  I'm adding a link to my blog which may be of interest to you.  It's fun and it gives you an idea about my work.

Hi, and thank you for being my first friend on the network.  If there is anything I can do to help you with your publishing or if you just want to chat, just let me know.  I want to connect to authors and hope to become a full fledged, contributing member of the group.

I always need a book cover designed.  I'll contact you the next time I need one.

I've attached my cover for my newest book, "African Safari Bootcamp for Women.  What do you think?  I also have a closeup of a leopard I thought I might use instead of the scene with the cheatah.  Book will be on most major ebook sites by mid-june.

Thank you

Well, (Pause. Tentatively raise my hand and give a small wave). I guess we are friends now. "hello!" I'm an artist too, as well as writer. (except, frown, I'm not like anyone else. And if it looked like I was, I'd do something about that!)

So that I have good memory I scandisk and defrag each night. In the morning I wake up with a blank mind. I see a red orb in the sky and smile "Sun!" I turn my computer on, open emails and say "Friends!"

New here. Have 6 books out in the past year, that took a lifetime to write. Began with pencil on notebook paper before the days of computers and before I could afford a typewriter. Much has changed since I began. I sold 5,000 of 'book one' on my own in a year. Back with hard copy going through a printer days. Now, selling a handful is a challenge. Did people stop reading? Is there a zillion more writer competition these days? I'm not in touch with the big world. Live in a village of 300 people in Alaska. Spent 25 years as a mountain man hermit in the wilderness.

I sit and study civilization, as a wolf on the ledge watches the caribou herd stampede below. I know something of the herd. But not as an insider. Now and then a wolf on another ledge across the valley sits up and we spot each other. or perhaps it is a caribou saying hi. It's hard to tell. For now I'm just waving.

Thanks for the welcome and friendship. Great artwork.

Best Wishes

Hi Aidana,

I enjoyed watching your works. Very sophisticated images! Will keep you in mind for a cover.

Best,

Jacques

Hello Aidana - Thank you for your friendship!

Congratulations on your book. The cover is real nice.

Sure thing :-)

Hope you can make it. But, I will understand if you are too busy making me a super awesome logo for The Draconos Saga.

Oh, you can also view your beautiful book cover here:

There are many indie authors on Wattpad that could really use a professional book cover by your design. I get lots of compliments and tell them all that it is a WillowRaven creation.

Hope a few of them have visited your site :-)

Aidana, I know that you mentioned that you do not always get your messages from this site. I hope that you get this one :-)

I just started a new forum based upon an author interview of an indie who has had tremendous success over on Wattpad. I hope that you can follow the link below and post a comment and/or question. Perhaps you can mention the importance of an awesome book cover? :-)

Aidana, I have been enjoying your last few book covers that you posted on your blog :-)

I am making progress on Blood and Fire and will have it completed by year's end. At that time I will be in contact for the web page design.

In the mean time, here is my latest book review. I hope you can stop by and leave a comment.
