People often say, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” But….
I’m asking you to judge mine.
I’m very happy to announce my book, Letters From Jasper, will be out before the end of the month.
First and foremost, thank you so much for your support.
Seriously, I couldn’t have done this without you.
I mean it…
So much so that I even gave you all a shout-out in my book.
It’s well deserved.
Secondly, if I ever made you laugh or smile with anything I wrote, if you have the means, I’m asking you to support my book.
Every review helps, every share helps, and anything you can do to get the word out, I will be beyond grateful.
If you’ve been along for the ride, thank you. Also know, I never released all the chapters, all the characters and everything that happened. I also added about 20,000 words since I last posted anything related to my story.
I say this to say – you’ll find something you didn’t notice before.
I’m a firm believer that good writing is entertaining, honest, and stirs emotions, and that’s the promise I make to you if you read my book.
So once again, thank you for your support, and go ahead and judge this book by its cover.
– Tony
P.S. my friend James made the cover! He’s a graphic designer that actually cares about his work. If you need a book cover or anything designed, he’s a great choice, fair priced and exceeds expectations. Hit him up! James Sutton| http://www.Sutstonellc.com
Please like, comment, share and tell me what you think! Do you like the cover?
Frm everything I read, the cover is a perfect combination. Congratulations
Thank you so much my friend! I appreciate you so much!
Very cool, excited for you! Add a subscribe button to your footer so we can get notifications!
Ahh thanks so much! I gotta figure out how to do that! I thought the button was auto with Jetpack.
But thanks so much – I appreciate you
Oh, I dunno. I finally figured it out today, there’s a block for subscription, but I’ve seen others with buttons, I’m really not sure how it works
Congratulations on your book! 🎉
Thank you so much!!
Congratulations 🎉👍👏👏
Thank you so much!!
You know, Tony… that’s a damn fine book cover, sir—actually makes me W A N T to read the book.
Music to my ears I appreciate you my friend!!
My pleasure!
I’ve followed along with the stories you posted and I’m excited that they’re all published now. I can’t wait to read it. As for the cover, I think it’s perfect for this story! Gawgeous. Just gawgeous!
Gawgeous!!! Music to my ears. I appreciate you my friend! ’ I really do !
People don’t understand how much time and effort you have to make to create a book cover! Beautiful cover and colors.
So happy you like it! It’s a totally pain in the ass – because people do judge books by their cover. My buddy did most of the heavy lifting and if anyone needs a book cover, I’m positive he’d help anyone out! Appreciate you my friend
I did two of the books covers for my own books and I speak with experience with the creation.. people don’t understand the time , effort and hours and hours of work..
I agree man – it’s such a big decision. The blurb personally I thought was hard too – I must have done 209 drafts!
Even though Dad is no longer here on Earth, he and I are so proud of you.
Amazing!
Very very very much appreciated!
This looks so good! I would definitely read this just based on the cover!
Aww thank you so much! Made my day!
Congratulations, Tony! From everything I’ve read that you’ve written, success will fit you like a well worn pair of jeans. Way to go!
Love that! Thank you so much my friend! I appreciate you so much!
Oh, and yes I like the cover, and I’m sure I’ll love the book!
Appreciate you!
Congratulations that’s awesome!
Thank you so much, I appreciate you!
Congratulations Tony. That’s a fine cover. One small thing; if you’re planning on ever using Amazon paid ads, I’d avoid the use of the word ‘cr*p’ on the cover. They don’t have a problem with the vocabulary inside, but they’re very prudish about the outside: I speak from personal experience. Otherwise, excellent cover. 🙂
Thank you so much my friend! I really appreciate you and great call out! Funny, they sell a bunch of crap! Crazy how we can use that word lol
Don’t they just? 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
This is so AWESOME!! Congratulations, Anthony!!🎉
Thanks so much Shaun! You helped a ton – more than you know. I appreciate you my friend!
I’m so happy for you!
Tysm! Loved ur post today about being grateful! Such a good reminder
You’re welcome, Anthony.
Congratulations! 🎉
The cover looks fantastic and immediately sparks curiosity. More importantly, your passion, gratitude, and dedication shine through every word of your announcement.
Wishing you great success with Letters From Jasper. May it reach many readers, earn countless reviews, and inspire people just as your writing has already done. Looking forward to seeing your book out in the world!
Best wishes and congratulations again!
Congratulations! 🎉🍾
Looks amazing! If I saw this on a shelf I’d pick it up!
Wishing you every success with this Tony. Nice one! ☺🙃
Aww this totally made my morning! Thank you so much for the kind words
You’re most welcome 🤗
Okay, I’m hooked. Family bonding. Gasoline on a bonfire. Cool graphic. Just enough of a promo to pull at the senses but not too much to give away the story! I’m in. Well done. Congratulations on the book. Can’t wait to hear more. Exciting times. Enjoy!
Thanks so much Brian you made my day! You absolutely did!
Oh awesome! Enjoy this time! So cool.
I like the cover. I love the desert sunset contrasting against the fall of night. I think the letters are a wonderful symbol of the book itself, and of course the blaring lights of the police vehicle gives you another contrast against the skyline and the dark.
Thank you so much my friend!
You’ve been a big help in this journey and I appreciate you so much!
Congratulations on your book launch! The cover definitely grabs attention and sparks curiosity. Wishing you lots of success with Letters From Jasper—and kudos to James for the fantastic cover design!
Aww thanks so much! I’ll let James know!
The cover illustration is luminous and a perfect choice for the title. This certainly is an interesting read.
Thank you so much my friend! I appreciate you!
HI Anthony! Congrats on your book. I will read it . I like my bologna fried to a crisp, tomato, mayonnaise and mustard, on bread with sweet iced tea with lemon! Lol! Write on! Greetings from Tennessee, USA.
I appreciate you so much! That’s a damn good bologna sandwich!
BTW I would stop on the side of the road and pick up those sheets of paper! I love a random mystery and crumb trail. It’s so Hansen and Gretel.
Hi, Anthony! Very Congrats on your book.
Thank you so much my friend!
This is a wonderful achievement. I am so happy for you and excited for what this new season will bring you 😀 !!
Thank you so much! Appreciate you!
I think you are a wonderful author. I love reading your stories.
Aww you totally made my day, thank you so much!!
Congratulations, Tony! What a wonderful accomplishment. I look forward to reading it.
Thanks so much Lori! Ahh you made me smile!
Very cool- congratulations!!🎉🎉
Is there a way to pre-order? A gift for my future self, who will not remember that you wrote a book and that I want to read it.
I will my friend!! I need to go through one last reread, then it’ll be live – I appreciate you so so much!
Hey Ruth here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H69KPGT8?spcref=HARDCOVER_LISTING
PS tomorrow the book is free on kindle
James did a great job! If the cover doesn’t grab the attention of a potential reader, that person will probably not pick up the book, no matter how awesome the content is. So yes, I agree, the cover should be striking. Congratulations!
Thank you so so much! You made mine and James day so much better! Thank you!
Nice cover. To me, a bad one says, basically, that the publisher doesn’t give a shit–or has lousy taste. Neither speaks well for the book.
Thank you so much Ellen, and I agree!!
Great cover
Thank you!
I scrolled past tons of lovely comments just to say, what an amazing cover for such an enticing story! I’m a huge fan of life never turning out quite the way we thought it would.
I often encourage my clients to write their children letters of truth, because a parent’s story becomes part of the child’s story too. Children deserve to know their history, not to carry it as a burden, but to understand it, heal from it, and avoid repeating what was never named.
Letters of truth can be more healing than we realize. In a way, it’s like time traveling, allowing wisdom from one version of us to reach another.
Congratulations!✨✨
Thank so you so much and I love that idea!
I couldn’t agree more – it’s healing.
Congratulations on your book; best of luck with the selling. The cover does look amazing, and yes, I do judge books by their covers. Rarely am I disappointed.
You totally made my day thank you, thank you, thank you so much!
Congratulations and much success!
Thank you so so much!
I’m a believer that your good writing is entertaining, honest, and stirs emotions. All the best in all your endeavors.
Thank you so so much, you made me smile and I can’t thank you enough for that
From the bottom of this author to you, my friend: Congrats. Maybe you’ll take a gander at my paperbacks on Amazon Books. Author Dee Tezelli. All self-made, self-published and self-experiential, mountain adventures. But the book covers do not tell it all. Dee Tezelli. Cheers.
Of course! Post the link!
Thanks friend, no link needed: Amazon Books — Dee Tezelli Author Central — All Books
Most recent title is – ERIC, the INCREDIBLE PODCASTER in REYKJABVIK (same cover contains doubleheader) MAN FROM MT. FUJI. The snippets are enough to get a rating of the plot. CHEERS.
Your cover looks great!
Thank you so much! It means a lot! And the book is actually live if you want a copy – I’d be happy to gift you one.
I love that you hired someone to do the cover!
There’s so much push for things to be done by robots, it really devalues people. I also hired someone for the interior files of my children’s book (though I did the cover myself.)
This is my first exposure to your blog/book. What’s it about?
Thank you so much! And yeah we gotta keep the jobs!
So my blog is just about the funny truths and observations of life.
Can be anything – sometimes something a bit more deep like talking about failure.
Other times lighter like funny people you see at a party.
My only goal is to make you laugh and think.
And if you like my writing – I would be honored if you checked out my book – letters from Jasper
