Adventures Redux

     Writers change, and so too must covers.Today marks the end of the cover of Adventures at and around the Galaxy, as seen below.

     While this cover has its merits, its theme is not one I want to stick to for the rest of the series, and I feel that its style is not representative of my artistic ability. For these reasons, I find it fit to re-release my first novel under an entirely new cover, as seen below.



    Also included in this re-release is a collection of minor edits - nothing that changes the story outstandingly, just grammatical and self-consistency errors. Unfortunately, the print version of Adventures will not be updated for a week or two, due to the necessity of and time involved in obtaining a proof copy. For those of you who fell in love with the old cover at first sight, and wish to spend your days gazing at its unspeakable beauty, it will remain accessible through this blog post, and via the Bonus Content page.

Oh, and "redux" is pronounced "re-ducks"

  1. I still think it's "re-do" but I'll defer to you and the unspeakable beauty of your old cover. LOL! BTW, very proud of your new-cover skills as well!

  2. I've never spoke about the "unspeakable beauty" of your old cover, but it is one for the ages. Can hardly wait to get the old book with the new cover and the the second book in the trilogy.

  3. I thought the first cover was charming! The second cover clearly shows the maturity of the writer and his great command of the design evolutionary process. I will definitely be ordering the the second edition of Adventures at and Around the Galaxy, and the second book when it comes out.
