First look! ROOKIE and STARTER paperback covers!

Coming to a bookstore near you August 7th!

Cover design by Scott E. Pond.	Figures by Adrian Bogart.

With everything else we've got going on over here, we're still working hard in the background on getting the paperbacks ready for print. Newly edited manuscripts are in the expert hands of the Diva of Design as we speak, and I present the covers for your perusal here. Enjoy!

Both books publish August 7, 2012, and are available for pre-order now.

Now there is some nice comic art. I love the original cover art of the hardcovers, but these look pretty nifty, too. Almost makes you want to buy the books all over again to statisfy your inner collector.

He's my cousin (my dad's brother's son). We went a good many years out of contact but finally met back up last year during my dad's illness. He was always one of my favorite relatives and it's great that we're back in touch again. Hoping to convert him to Siglerism soon. ;-)
