Possibly the absolute worst cover I’ve made to date is the one I put together for my short story collection, A Jar Of Mixed Treats. Pretty horrid, right? I thought I was being real clever. The five stories in the …

I got the editor’s feedback on Masters yesterday morning. Good stuff! I spent a good chunk of the day, and an hour and a half late at night, moving her corrections and tweaks from the .rtf file she sent me …
