Hi,
I use Bigstockphoto for the photos, they have a great library and can be very reasonable - just a few dollars. Takes a bit of patience to find the right one for your book, something I'm not very good at. Once I have the picture, I use a simple Paint program to add titles and author. I was very happy with the cover for An Evil Shadow and Moon on the Bayou. Some of the others aren't bad and a couple are downright poor, so take your time to get one that works. Good luck.

Hey fellow Wattpadders,
My book Paper Ghosts reached the 1,000,000 reads milestone today. Thanks to all who downloaded. Work on my new book Shadowland, a Val Bosanquet crime thriller, is well advanced and I hope to start posting some of it in the near future.

Hi everyone,
I have completed Moon on the Bayou, my third Val Bosanquet book and I am seeking volunteers from my fans to read the beta version of the manuscript. I would welcome readers to point out typos, mistakes, or British sayings (always a problem for overseas writers with stories set in America). There is no obligation and if you dislike the story that's okay. Should you wish to volunteer and receive your free copy, send me a Private Message with your e-mail address and the format you would like the book in. Remember it is for your own privacy that you send me your details via a PM, so no posting on your message board. I assure you that any e-mail addresses received will not be used for any other purpose and will be deleted by me.
So if you have enjoyed An Evil Shadow or Death Sentence, please drop me a line. I genuinely believe Moon on the Bayou is the best Val Bosanquet story so far.

Thank you.

AJ Davidson
