Adam is more than he seems: beautiful and strange. Megan soon finds herself falling in love with him as she learns who he is and where he comes from.

A book’s cover is its calling card and this cover is gorgeous. A lot of times I’ll read a book and go back and look at the cover and realize how the cover didn’t quite capture the story, or how there are bits of the cover which don’t quite fit with the tale inside. But in this case, I couldn’t imagine a more perfect showcase for The Devil’s Garden.

Jack Regan captured me from the get go with his young adult fantasy T’Aragam, which is aimed at the tween age group (9-13).

First, I have to admit I haven’t read (and thoroughly enjoyed) any space opera-type Science Fiction since Restaurant At the End of the Universe which I read back in grade school. Though I loved the movies, I’ve never been a fan of the mass market books that supported the Star Trek and Star Wars enterprises. So, Ken McConnell’s Starstrikers was both a surprise and a pleasure for me.

I was excited to receive a hard copy of Richard Garfinkle’s Exaltations in the mail to read and review because it is the first hard cover book I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing produced from Lulu. The physical quality of this book is outstanding so I’d like to share a few of my own photos of it for other authors who might be considering a hardcover edition of their own work.

Summerworld, by Serdar Yegulalp, is one of those books that landed on our “Pick me” tab quite a while ago. Serdar was one of the very first authors to query his book to us here at LLBR when we were getting started, and we almost passed on it. I’m so glad we didn’t. It’s philosophical journey, mixed with fantasy and realism and set in a world created somewhere between our own and whatever else is out there, is one I am now happy to have taken.

If you’ve been reading the POD Diary, then you know I recently purchased an awesome program called Book Cover Pro which I used to design the cover of my own book. I decided to post an ad in the Lulu forum and offer my services to others who are in need of help with their book covers.
