It looks amazing Will!

I agree with James here in regard that outer glow round the title, but perhaps, copy in hand, the effect won't appear quite so vibrant. Overall, it's a stunning cover!

Can't wait for the summer!

Go to the Friends of Anne web site, and there you will see the cover art complete with Anne Droyd logo, story title and author name.

Better still, go to www.willhadcroft. com, double click on the image there, and get a closer look.

And don't forget to alert all your friends, nephews, nieces, and dare I say it, grandchildren.

Anne Droyd returns this summer!

Thanks for your continued support.

Will.

HA! I know what you are saying Darryl, but to me an "outer glow" should follow the same natural principles as a Drop Shadow. The robotic style on the font is...

Hi Darryl, No offence intended. Visuals are a touchy thing for many. I did consider that the effect was meant to represent metal, and am glad to have it...
