It looks like a Tombstone..

I decided to use Create Space to publish - In The Wicker Wood – but I don't know if I can do a proper job of setting it all up and producing a cover that well reflect the book properly.

So I put on my old Worzel Gummidge Thinking Head – and decided to do a dry run.

I rooted around on my hard-disk, I'm a sloppy filer, and found a couple of short stories and a handful of poems. Then I added a few #Micropoetry and #Twihaiku Tweets - it was a nice set of ingredients - and then I had a cake to bake. But instead I started assembling a short book.

I called it The Knowledge Seekers & The Land Of Cudhabeen. The short stories are about the Imbols - Drudic Knowledge Keepers and the rest are some poems from things that I wish could-have-been different.

The I added some other stuff from blogs and my website and called them Broad Thoughts From a Home For The Bewildered.

I threw it all into Create Space and then started to use Cover Generator to make a cover.

I was doing great, nice colours, a nice picture selected, and a nice Bio written – white letters on a black background - in a nice frame, complete with picture – all ready to be printed.

My PAL (Partner and Lover) looked over my shoulder and I asked “Whatcha think- whatcha think – nice- ...?”

It looks like a tombstone,” she said and left the room.

Back to the drawing board.
