It is hard to do a full revamp without messing up the original feel and storyline. I give you a lot of credit for going with your gut instinct!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736503998909566503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-35372418640025828152017-04-14T18:10:02.823-04:002017-04-14T18:10:02.823-04:00It's interesting to hear the behind the scene ...It's interesting to hear the behind the scene stuff. Lol I'd read both of your Geek books 'back in the day' and had enjoyed what you're calling the sensual one so much more than the erotic. The sexy times can get in the way of the story telling sometimes at least IMO. Good to understand why you had a different heat level in them ;-)<br /><br />PeggyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-58635584785723941082017-04-13T20:37:05.491-04:002017-04-13T20:37:05.491-04:00I love the new covers!

Basically it was to leave time frame alone, leave the heat level alone if warranted by the story, and fix anything I just didn't like.Cindy Spencer Papehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583236494759465431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-76604525078205491172017-04-13T13:41:41.725-04:002017-04-13T13:41:41.725-04:00I love your new covers, Cindy.

I've done minor changes in the books whose rights I got back.

Finally putting a plan in writing, making a commitment to stick to those decisions and begin the process of rewriting, combining, and relabeling, got the ball rolling without feeling like it was rolling over me! <br />Like you, I had good editors and trusted my own skills enough to make a few minor changes. We even had the same editor for quite a few books! Helen was great, wasn't she? <br />I used to be an artist, so designing covers would be fun, yet I still have a professional do some of these projects with me. I'm not familiar with the technology of cover creation. Like what is a dpi and how do I get 300 of them?
