New cover art and other such things

So, a rather productive day today, only not with Het Eiland in de Mist. I decided to FINALLY lulu-fy (new word!) Plain Flowers, as chances are small that I will be doing much revising on that book anyway. 

I also decided to finally order a new copy of In Licht en Schaduw, because I have no clue where my old one is, and I really don't want my first book ever to be only a digital file. Luckily for me, the whole package was still stored on my Lulu.com account - and I promptly hated the cover art I had created for it back then. So, not bothering to edit anything of the actual story or chapter layout, I went and painted a new cover art. It was only two hours of work, and still rather rough around the edges, but in general I would say it is an improvement. The backflap text was also made of nonsense, so I blotted down a few different lines about the story altogether.

Als de vijftienjarige Mare een ontmoeting heeft met de mysterieuze Steffan, raakt haar leven in een stroomversnelling.  Herinneringen aan een ander leven steken de kop op, en al snel wordt ze meegezogen in een avontuur dat haar ver van huis brengt. Langzaam ontdekt ze een oude familiegeschiedenis en de donkere geheimen die daarbij horen. Wie is de gemaskerde Vorst, die haar opjaagt? En wat kan zij doen om te voorkomen dat een bloedige oorlog weer opnieuw oplaait?

 (When the fifteen-year old Mara encounters the mysterious Steffan, her life rapidly changes. Memories of a different life begin to pop up, and soon she is pulled into an adventure that takes her far from home. Slowly she discovers an old family history and its dark secrets. Who is this masked Sovereign that is chasing her?  And is there something she can do to prevent a bloody war from rising up once again?)

It sounds so much cooler than it actually is, of course. I'm almost tempted to rewrite the entire book. Almost...XD

Plain Flowers just looks the way I had intended, though I admit I was never eniterly satisfied with the cover art. And yet, I could never be bothered to really work on it, so whatever, haha. And look! I made a logo: Shinyverse Press <3

There are many tales about mysterious travellers.
Many stories of a young hero rising to the throne.
Hundreds of legends about prophesies.
Don't believe a word they say. My name is Daffodil. I'm here to tell the truth.
