In October of 2021 I decided to try and fix some things that were bugging me about my covers. I was never really happy with the font I created (I only took a week of Typesetting 101, that’s a long story) and the artwork was subpar and needed fixing. Major fixing in the case of ‘Into the Shadowood.’ I do all the artwork myself, but I hired professionals to handle the design elements. I’m very happy with the new look, and I’m planning to replace some of the old interior artwork in the next few months. I also changed the interior type font to something easier to read, which had the effect of reducing the page count substantially, so the books are thinner.
Old ones first, new ones second.
