Review of UVC

Hello readers, I read this book when I got the ARC for a review (I apologize for no poem). Before I get to that here's the purple-mazing cover and blurb!  Ultraviolet Catastrophe  book  blurb:   Quantum Electrodynamics.  String Theory.   Schrödinger's cat.  For sixteen-year-old  Lexie   Kepler , they’re just confusing terms in her science textbooks, until she finds out that her parents have been drugging her to suppress her outrageous IQ. Now  Branston Academy, a school run by the world’s most powerful scientists, has tracked her down and is dying for her to attend - as a research subject.  She takes refuge at Quantum Technologies, a secret scientific community where her father works as a top-notch scientist, and begins her new life as “girl genius” at Quantum High.  But the assignments at her new school make the Manhattan Project look like preschool - and  Lexie  barely survived freshman algebra. Her first big assignment – creating an Einstein-Rosen bridge – is also her f

'A to Z Poetry' Cover Process

Hello readers,  Today is the first day of the blog tour! I'm staying here on my blog to share the cover process. I thought since it's about my poetry I should compile a collage as the cover, but blur it for the text. I liked it and thought I would use it, but after awhile it didn't feel right.  Someone told me they wanted me to use a picture of myself since the poems were about me. I chose a good picture from camping and turned it black and white.  I thought to keep it simple and keep the text to the left.  It didn't look right. I changed it to the right.  It still didn't look right. There was too much space. I adjusted the words and the colors. I made my cover! And there you have it! I hope it was good! Love,
