A Few Things ...

Covers are coming!

I have my covers loaded onto a post that will follow this one, but I wanted to make a few notes so you'd understand a few things. 

1) This is a feeler post. I do have a favorite set here, but I'm also still coordinating with another designer on another option. Hearing some impressions will help me greatly, though. Remember anonymous commenting has been turned on. Anyone who'd prefer to email me their thoughts can do so here: 89fyrebyrd@gmail.com

2) Please look deep at the designs. The elements chosen are ones that, for me, mean something to the books. I'm not sure everything will be apparent with just a cursory glance, though I suppose it's possible. 

3) The covers have to be chosen as a set. There's a progression in the designs, and in particular a darker to lighter aspect, as I think book 1 is the heaviest, even though we still face the sick little boy later. 

4) The text on covers 2 and 3 in all sets is still subject to change, as this was spur of the moment wording to create the designs, and even varies through the sets. Set 3's coloring for font is set, but finding the perfect one has been elusive, therefore it's paused here as I'd like some thoughts before investing more time--in any of them.

Thanks ahead of time for anyone who takes the time to respond, and I hope you like the direction I've taken. Naked man chest is soooo not my thing :P

Can you be of assistance? Hello, everyone! I'm working diligently on the Sharp Turn Series, and I can say that book 1 is very close to being finished.  I often find myself wondering how it can be the same but oh do very different. And it is--different that is. I've changed and added and deleted and reworked and reworded almost every line it feels like, though the core of what the story was about will not change. I've not only reworked some characters, but I've also added completely new ones. And names! Let's not forget those. Gahhh, I can't wait to see if you like them!  Now, onto something else.  Covers!  I've been driving myself mad, mostly because I'm picky, but also because I want it to mean something to the book(s). So I was wondering ...  If I were to make a blog post, in the future, that included possible options, would you give me opinions? Of course, in my mind, I have to love all 3 before I can decide--and I'm current

Series Details: With book 1 (Sharp Left Turn) complete, I can give you a few more details. The actual release date is not solidified, but I am hoping for late October.  Each book will be released in roughly 30 day increments with a pre-order link for the next book located in the back.  ALL pre-orders for EACH  book will be 99 cents. This is my way of offering it to the fandom in the cheapest possible fashion. I've put a lot of work into this so far, and I hope that once you've read it, you'll feel it was worth the dollar from your pocket.  Once the book goes live, the price will be raised to the standard $2.99 I'm happy to do some ARCs also, in the next couple of weeks. If that interests you, please get in touch with me, as there won't be an official sign up sheet floating around anywhere. These are always in exchange for an honest review.  Cover Reveal?  LOL, sorry! But time is ticking and this needs to be nailed down. So I present you th

I'd like to begin this blog with a little about myself.  First of all, I like purple, pink and all colors in between :)  Faye Byrd is tiny blue dot in the red Deep South. She lives in a small town with her husband of almost twenty-five years and a couple pit bulls. Aside from writing, her other time is mostly spent with her only grandchild, spoiling him rotten then sending him back to his mama.  Reading has always brought her joy, but it's only through the incredible imagination of Stephenie Meyer that her own passion was able to burst forth. Her writing roots were only a tiny seed when she entered the Twilight fandom as a reader, but over the years, the seed has taken root and spread into a sprawling tree. She loves to create distinct characters in a wide array of settings and doesn't ever want to limit herself by a genre.  Though her debut novel is set in the Wild West, she has many more worlds left to share with her readers. The common thread through all her writ
