Your skills don't look rusty to me. Cool looking cover. What's going on the inside?

2010 SSRS · 01-16-2010, 02:35 PM

Ok, as an avid reader, I'm curious as to what type of books you normally write and who you are. If you don't want to say on here then send me a pm and maybe I'll check out some of your work. Cover art looks ok with me. Jamie

Jamie Mac · 01-16-2010, 02:56 PM

Doh! Just noticed you have your name on the cover

lol, i haven't had anythin published yet, i'm working on that hardcore though...on wednesday's my friend has meetings with his business partners and he's asking around for connections that deal with book contracts etc....my cousin also had a publishing company and i can have 100 copies of my book madefor $400, so i can distribute it that way to get my name out there...either way my camaro family will b able to recieve my books...

and i usually write drama/erotica's(stories with sex) lol, i've read alot of zane's books, and she's a big inspiration to my writing...but unlike her, i write about things other than sex lol...i'll be letting everyone know about my status with my books when things start to happen

Jamie Mac · 01-16-2010, 03:04 PM

n e body else?...like...dislike?

I like it. But is the main character a good guy or a bad guy. I'm don't really like the books or movies where the bad guy is the hero. Gang leaders don't portray a likeable character to me.

The cover is cool though.

The only suggestion I have is change the typeface or don't do all caps. The typography is kinda weak imo.

Use a graffiti font for the title.
