Pretty Good Vs. Really Good

I just got an email from my narrator that the recording of Witch's Jewel is finished and the audiobook is being mastered. It won't be long now. I'm not putting it up on preorder since this is the first time I'm doing an audiobook and I don't know how long things will take. As soon as it's available, I'll send an email to let everyone know.

Hearing the sample made me extra glad that I hired a professional to do the narration instead of my original plan which was to record it myself. I'm a pretty good public speaker and pretty good at voiceovers, but I'm not a trained and experienced actor.

I'm also glad that I finally started hiring a professional cover artist to do my covers. My old ones were pretty good, but there's only so much you can do without a stock photo account and Adobe photoshop. (I used my own hand, hand-painted backdrops, a cardboard cut-out for the wolf shadow, and GIMP.)

Shapeshifter's Turf

If you're an exiled faerie with no home, no friends, and no legal ID, it makes sense that you'd end up working at the Renaissance festival. (Wide)

Have you read this book? I'd love your reviews and recommendations!

The original version of Shapeshifter's Turf was called Changer's Turf until another writer friend told me that werewolves and the like were called "shapeshifters" or "shifters" and not "shapechangers" and "changers." It still feels weird to me, frankly. Changing shape makes a lot more sense than shifting shape. I shift shape whenever I eat too many cookies at Christmas (at least, my waistline shifts outward). That's hardly supernatural.

This week's question: If you could shapeshift into any animal, what would you choose?
