A couple of years ago, I participated in an eBook challenge that author Lynn Viehl (aka Paperback Writer) hosted on her blog, where she challenged authors to provide a free story for readers in an eBook format and she would host links to the stories on her blog. Not only did we have to create the PDF version but we were also asked to design our own book covers. Eek! No stress.

Over a hundred authors participated and I was one of them with my fun paranormal story My Lucky Charmer. What’s interesting about My Lucky Charmer is that it was a bit of a departure from my usual writing style in that the story was written in first person and had a more humorous slant than my other darkly intense books, but I had so much fun writing it that it seemed a waste not to share it with others. Hmmm, which makes me ponder the question…does an author’s “voice” show through in a story no matter the style?

The other day I received a wonderful email from a reader, Toni Walker who said she’d enjoyed My Lucky Charmer so much that she’d created a book cover to represent the story. Toni is a graphic artist and I thought she did such a wonderful job I asked her if I could share the book cover on my blog.

So without further ado, I give you Toni Walker’s book cover for My Lucky Charmer!

If you want to see the old cover, read the blurb and an excerpt, you can go here and check it out. A link is provided for the PDF, too.

I’m sure you’ll agree Toni’s book cover is MUCH better!

Thanks again to Toni for creating a cover for My Lucky Charmer and allowing me to share it with others!
