with work and family I have, on average, four hours a week to write. When I write it is like a crazed, hungry, lunatic finding his first meal in over a week.
Most important. The cover and title are the window into your book. If it does not interest the passing reader then the game is already lost. My debut novel's first cover was not what I suspected it would be. I passed it over and found the man who made the cover, something special.
