I haven’t even pushed the “publish” button on Amazon for this book yet, and I’m already rethinking the cover. Here’s why.
The book is called From the Bottom of the Cauldron, and it’s basically a series of 10 interrelated kind of crazy stories about a witch-training school and the kids and teachers in it. For example, there’s a story about a kid who has to take a mop to Flying Broom Class because his mom refuses to pay extra for a broom when stores are only jacking up prices around Halloween.
“Probably no one will notice,” she says…
Those are the kinds of stories you can expect in the book. Kooky, quirky — and just fun. BUT… I’m pretty sure my cover says “spooky,” and these aren’t scary stories at all. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good scary story, and someday I’m going to write a book of them (once I conquer my fear of the dark), but this isn’t it.
I don’t want to disappoint kids who are expecting to be scared out of their wits. I also don’t want to turn away kids and parents who are looking for a fun book and think this is a scary one. But I really like my cover. Aaaaugh! Im so confused…
Anyway, if you’d like to read a story from the new book, I’ll be posting a different one every week during the month of October under my new *free story* tab. Or, you know, you can just buy the whole thing.
