My next book, Mindful Moments, is now just weeks from publication. Working on this project has been a very bright spot in an otherwise challenging year.
As I’ve said many times before, when the final draft of a manuscript is complete the work on the book is far from done.
The design phase of a book is always a double-edged sword for me. I really enjoy the process but am always reminded of how the subtlest of revisions can change the overall look and feel of a book so drastically. Artists have such a keen eye for detail and how color, placement, and even font choices can set a mood and make a book so much better.
I have six versions of book cover below (A-F) and need your help!
Please list your favorite version (A, B, C, D, E, or F) in the comments below and why that one stands out for you. (Sorry for the blemish in E, "5 of 6" in the upper righthand corner isn't part of the design.) Also if one version stands out for you but you have an idea of how to make it even better please share your thoughts.
Thank you in advance for your your feedback, it will be a huge help to me in making this book the best it can be.

QR Codes - Promoting Hive Worldwide
I'm also excited about the incorporation of QR Codes in the book's interior.
I haven't seen many authors utilize this technology yet so it will be an interesting experiment. Readers will be able to snap the QR Codes and it will instantly take them to where they can purchase my previously published books, visit my website, blog and, yes, even the Hive onboarding page so they can open their own Hive account in minutes.
Mindful Moments will be sold worldwide via Amazon and other distribution channels so I can't wait to see how this affects our ever-expanding Hive community. The release date for Mindful Moments will be announced here on Hive soon!
I hope you all had a good week!
P.S. I'd like to thank to everyone who reached out with their kind words, prayers, and condolences over these past few weeks. Our family appreciates them greatly!
