Well I have reached the point where I am actively looking for a publisher and/or representation. If you happen to know one (or are one) feel free to contact me so we can discuss if our views line up.

Pic is a draft of the book cover I made myself just to see how it might look
#publishers #Books
A draft for a book cover, a picture of the island fortress "Suomenlinna" that is in Helsinki taken in the night time. The title of the book, "Darkness of Helsinki", is written on the top of the picture and on the lower part there is the name of the author "Kay J. Middle"

The power of commas & punctuation...

#booksky #comma #punctuation๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š
The power of commas & punctuation: โ€œWill you marry me?โ€ Is a marriage proposal. โ€œWill, You, Mary, Meโ€ is a foursome proposal. โ€œWill, you marry meโ€ is a time traveller spoiling the future. โ€œWill you, Mary meโ€ is a cavewoman trying to make Will, who has amnesia, remember who he is.
