There was a fresh grave with the funeral flowers still on it, not too unusual except for the roses were a really vibrant shade of red. I'm not sure if I've ever seen roses in this shade, and NEVER for a funeral. They're beautifully inappropriate. Anyways, I got a nice tight shot of them, so not much background to clean up. I'm still trying to decide if I want this image on a white cover or a black one. Black ones are creepier, but they're so over done. I want this to be "different." I also want to do something with the red from the roses. Maybe take a bit of that color, and use it to shadow the title or something. I won't know for sure until I start to play with my paint program.<br /><br />So the cover idea inspired a new title, since book two is getting the old one. Here it is:<br />"Vampires for the Living, Flowers for the Dead"<br /><br />Yes, it's long, but I'm wordy sort of person, so it's fitting. :)<br /><br />This first book is about Chloe getting her life together after her father's death and Bobbi's misadventures in parenting a teenager. Yeah, we meet some vampires, but that doesn't become an issue until book 2.<br /><br />There a lot of me in this book, as I have experienced the death of a parent and I am a mom, but the characters took over a long time ago. LOL. You know how that goes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16641211092977186773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282542559450942298.post-75568587066217234042012-04-21T18:51:52.749-07:002012-04-21T18:51:52.749-07:00We've had a cold snap too, though I am not com...We've had a cold snap too, though I am not complaining. The longer it is cool, the less time it will be in the 100's... bleh.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to seeing your cover by the way!! :DJoleene Naylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11591967764003541551noreply@blogger.com
