Tomorrow is l-day (or b-day or p-day or whatever) so I think today is the perfect opportunity to send a warm thank you to Ellen, my Danish blog friend, who has allowed me to pick and choose among her wonderful pictures of a most charming house for the cover of “The Cosy Knave”. She is a marvellous photographer, and if you want to praise her pictures, don´t worry about leaving a comment, her English is excellent.
I have had my doubts as most people out there discourage writers from creating their own covers, but you could say that another blog friend tested it for me yesterday, and I am more than satisfied with the reactions. So if the book flops, it will NOT be because of Ellen´s lovely picture.
Another group of friends who deserve to be mentioned are the five people who gave me invaluable advice on language and content during the process. Thank you so much to Bente, Bernadette, Margot, Elisabeth and Miriam!
And thank you to other friends who offered their help – I know who you are so you shouldn´t feel too safe yet 😉

Good luck Dorte, have been so busy reading Aussie books and CWA eligibles that I haven’t yet had a chance to re-visit THE COSY KNAVE but will get to it this week
All the best, Dorte.
Dorte – How kind of you :-). I’ve been proud to be a part (however small) of the creation process and I can’t wait for The Cosy Knave‘s release :-).
The cover is extremely wonderful. I’m sure your book will be wonderful as well.
Dorte, The cover is lovely, and The Cosy Knave is next on my reading list. All the best wishes for its success.
How wonderful to come home from a birthday to read such lovely comments!
Thank you so much; you are terrific friends!!
I think Ellen’s photo is perfect for the book. Also, I would say your advisors have done a fine job for you. Wishing you all the best for the launch! Watch for my review on Tuesday. 🙂
Wow – thank you! You are very kind.
But… the book, as well as the cover, is yours and only yours all the way through – I’m only happy that I was able to help you a bit – that was fun 🙂
I wish you all the best.
That does look like the picture of a cozy home, fit for a cozy knave! Will get to reading your book soon!!
Kelly: another event I can´t wait for .. you people are making me all jittery ;D
Ellen: you have helped me one large bit, and I really appreciate that! And I hope you also enjoy all the people who rave about my cover 🙂
Harvee: I like that comment! 🙂
Congratulations!
