Spoils of War Highest Rated Sci-fi/Fantasy at ARe

Woo hoo!!!

In other news…I’m down with the flu, with a layer of crud in my chest trying its valiant best to smother me (gah) so I’ve taken the past couple of days off for some serious R&R in hopes of avoiding pneumonia. Being feverish and woozy doesn’t lend itself to quality fic (at least not in my case) so I decided to totally decompress, nothing but play for moi. Which leads us to Josh Lanyon’s cover art contest. Josh is getting the rights back soon to his “In a Dark Wood” from the Arresting Developments anthology with Aspen Mountain Press and plans to re-release it as a stand-alone for Amazon Kindle. To enter his contest, design a cover for “In a Dark Wood” and post the link in this thread by December 1st. Winner gets bragging rights and $50.

Being a total Josh Lanyon fan girl and a freelance graphic designer, of course, I had to design a cover. Do I care about the $50? Not really, but bragging rights would be sweet. Anyhoo, what I ultimately came up with:

I now wish I’d made the title larger, but oh well, (Strange Brew reference anyone?) no point in steering now. So…What do you think? Comment below by Friday, Nov. 12th, either on my cover entry or Spoils of War‘s awesome ratings at ARe and I’ll choose someone at random to receive a prize package of cool promo items — bookmarks, cover flats, pen, notepad, I think I even have an extra canvas tote.

Good luck — to you and me both! 😉
