1. Book update

   The writing is done, the printer and e-book seller has been chosen but I am still lacking a cover.

   The problem of design has largely been removed from me as I have a very generous offer from a graphic designer to produce the cover. I have an idea of the design for the back cover, this will mean getting a photograph taken (another generous offer from a professional photographer) but as to the front cover, I have no strong feeling.  The designer told me that the title will drive the design so at this stage, I am not worrying!

   ‘Traditional’ covers designs for this type of book usually show a long, winding road leading into the hills wioth no one else about. Once I have submitted my pictures and ideas I will leave this part of the design up to the designer; maybe ‘Point North & Pedal’ will throw out something different. It will be interesting to see the result.

   I am still on track for a book launch at the back end of March, please keep popping back to www.phil-cox.net for more content and details of how to buy the book once everything has been prepared.

   Now, back to writing website content!

   Explored the world of Linked In today; something I have resisted for a long time, it feels like a starchy Facebook. I’m hopeful that connections will generate some books sales but I am still reluctant to admit to ‘networking’. However, the reading I have done around marketing books suggests that this kind of thing is essential to promote the author and his/her works. We shall see.
