Sometimes, I take real joy in designing covers and this one was a lot of fun. Even though it is a simple headshot, the picture presented some difficulties that others might not think of. First there is the standard uniform with the team's name on it. Not so much a copyright issue, but serves more of a distraction for the title and author name you would normally have on a paperback cover. Two, and most importantly is the darkening of photos over time. I learned this from my mentor Merl Kast, who passed away in 2006, and the role acid can play in damaging paper/photos. As time goes by, the hues darken and the clarity of the photo is diminished.

Paired with my love of LIFE Magazines from the period, I think the cover is fitting tribute. As a corollary, a slight white inner bevel can be found as well on the title, which is also a nod to 1940s and 50s baseball cards.

Hi everyone. We have been making some changes to the website and such and looking to do a redesign in the not too distant future. However, I wanted to bring some things to your attention:

1) We have eliminated eBook only plans entirely. We still offer eBooks with our print plans, but we are no longer servicing eBook only plans (no printed book). We will do this for our legacy titles, but will not be having this service for future titles.

2) We have eliminated online chat for our website. It seems that no one is using this service like in the past. So, we are now communicating via text, talk or e-mail. This one is a little counterintuitive to me, but it seems people are almost exclusively communicating via text, talk or e-mail. I feel that chat is a better medium than text, but a lot of people are not comfortable chatting using a mobile device.

3) We are looking to offer a services only package. These will be for individual authors who want to set-up an account with companies like KDP or Ingram Spark. We offer design and formatting services (and even help you set-up an account with them) and make sure everything is compliant to their standards. These services will have a fixed cost and will also reduce hardships for authors who want to do it on their own.

Sincerely,

Timothy Renfrow
