I asked for a couple of small changes to be made. I was stuck trying to come up with a possible cover, and I decided to focus in on the dead planet that Jennifer encounters while on the maiden voyage of a brand new dreadnought.

I asked Dawn to show a planet being attacked by ships in orbit. Within a day, she came up with this design. Never judge a book by its cover. It has been proven by many an author that it takes an eye-catching cover to attract a potential reader in the first place. The e-book space is littered some might say overwhelmed with books by new authors that no one will even consider looking at because the cover is poorly designed or poorly executed.

But not all books with bad covers are bad. Some are probably quite entertaining, engrossing and fascinating. But the likelihood of someone looking past the amateur quality of the cover is very very slim. I discovered this the hard way when I decided to try and cobble together a cover myself rather than find someone who could do a much better job.

The only thing that I proved with my misadventure was that I have little artistic skill. So, I bit the bullet, and hired someone that I discovered in the Kindle Publishers forum. I know that she would appreciate it. After wishing Barb a great night and a quiet shift, she stepped out of the tiny clinic out onto the corner of Twin Elm and Main, and turned left, heading to the south end of town.

To her right, the late afternoon sun hovered over the western hills, ceasing its baking of the air and the streets of Jewel. She took in the emptiness of the town. If hope was nourishment, then Jewel was gaunt with starvation. Ignored or forgotten by three levels of government, its people struggled to survive in the absence of money, employment, or support. They were fellow travellers on a long march to nowhere — each step bringing them individually and collectively that much closer to whatever destiny had in store. As she passed the houses, she waved and smiled at each one that had people sitting on the front stoops.

Waved and smiled and recognized their emptiness as being the same as her own.

Things will get better before much longer. Some company will swoop in, buy the abandoned electronics factory and bring jobs and comparative prosperity back to this forlorn little hick town. To smile at everyone you come across. To brighten their days, if only for a moment.

Three blocks ahead lay the football field, then a seemingly precipitous drop of the road to the high school. Then the creek, and The Rock — the one place where kids and teens would hang out. She walked diagonally across Emerald, now heading southeast. Past Briar, then Thicket, and approaching Thorn. As she turned the corner from Emerald onto Thorn, she smelled something wonderful cooking. He almost looked like his old self. I traded a dozen eggs at the store for a loaf of bread, some day-old buns and some honest-to-goodness relish.

I harvested one of our tomatoes to add to the burgers. And we have enough meat for at least another 4 meals, I figure. The story of her day was, of a necessity, much briefer and with no highlights to speak of. They sat quietly on the two beat-up garden chairs for awhile after eating. Go for your walk. You need some fresh air. You may run into someone you know from high school. She walked down the scrub-covered gravel slope that emptied into the southern endzone of the dilapidated little high school stadium.

To her left, the sun was easing itself behind the rooflines of the houses on Thorn. Ahead, a group of three boys stood around midfield, looking eastward up into the sky. Up on Emerald, above and behind the north endzone, two more people were staring up in an easterly direction, one of whom was pointing. Jennifer looked up in that direction. In the distance, she could make out some sort of black dot. Not something that should attract any attention.

She almost stumbled after her toes hit a divot in the slope. Once she got down to field level, her gaze went skyward again. The dot was bigger.

And What of Earth?

It was descending, seemingly heading straight for the stadium. She quickly glanced over at the boys at midfield. One of them had started backing away. With her attention once again placed on the object, she saw that it had acquired a definite shape. Like a lifting-body type of aircraft, except it was descending almost straight down. One of the boys let loose a barrage of expletives.
