I am simply stunned by what has happened for the last two days as a result of the gracious online review of Darkness Folding Inward, Light Emerging by the wry and astute financial analyst George Ure at Urban Survival. In the hours since his review went live, I have had both robust sales and a flood of requests for additional information.

Thank you to George for expressing an interest in my book, taking the time to read it, and then sharing his thoughts about it online. You are a star, George!

Now — allow me to change the topic a bit and give some credit to someone ELSE who has been an essential part of this whole process.

Yes — I did the hard slog as the writer, but I am ever so aware of how a visual impact plays into people’s decision-making process about what to buy. I don’t think that the books would be having this splendid success if those people who made purchases hadn’t (1) first been piqued with curiosity by George Ure’s charming and generous review and (2) were then pleased with the appearance of the cover art.

The credit for the cover design sits squarely on the shoulders of a talented man named Greg Calvert. I found a graphic for the cover of Darkness Folding Inward and he implemented it beautifully — and in the case of the striking cover for The Dreamkeeper Messages, he created the entire image from scratch.

Every aspect of the beautiful layout on the front and back cover, every page and header of the internal workings of the book, all of this is the diligent labour of Greg Calvert who has been my friend and editor for many years now.

And thank heavens for the connectivity of the Internet! Although I live in Australia and Greg lives in Colorado, the collaboration has succeeded beautifully because we can send the documents and the graphics and the endless revisions back and forth to one another via broadband connections instead of the post.

Again — thank you for your patience as I get to your individual emails. The ongoing positive thoughts from my readers worldwide are greatly appreciated!

The PRINT version of my brand new book — Darkness Folding Inward, Light Emerging — is now available for purchase at Lulu.com.

This book has taken longer than expected to write and produce due to the challenging nature of some of the psychic visions within it, but I am very proud to be able to announce that it is finally launched into the world.

If you would like to read a brief summary of the contents, just go to my primary website, Deborah Harmes, Ph.D. at deborahharmes.com and you will find the description.

My books are now printed at several locations around the world, so you are no longer charged for shipping from the USA if you happen to live in Great Britain, Europe, or Australia. The books are printed locally and shipped locally.

For those interested in an e-book version, I have made sure that all formats currently available are at the SMASHWORDS website.

Finally, for my readers around the world who have waited SO patiently for this book to be completed, I thank you for your ongoing love and support over the years. It is greatly appreciated!

You might wonder why we changed the cover art when the original lovely starry field and red nebula were quite stunning. Well, I felt that we HAD to change it because the image was from the NASA archives and could be used by other people.

I’ve had a particularly unpleasant situation to crop up lately over at Smashwords. They are lovely people to deal with and I have chatted with their CEO online several times. None of this was their fault at all — truly — none of it whatsoever.

Exactly one month from the time I published The Dreamkeeper Messages over there, some other writer created an exact duplicate of my cover and uploaded it with his own badly spelled, clearly unedited piece of ‘fiction’ with an almost identical name. In order that I don’t get sued, I will decline to name that person’s book or the writer.

Lovely friend and editor Greg noticed it first and when I lodged a formal complaint with the CEO of Smashwords last month, I was told that since the NASA image was in the public domain, I couldn’t do a darned thing even if that man DID ‘accidentally’ duplicate my cover. Perhaps it was just a ‘mistake’ by the other writer??? Aarrgghh!!!

So, the cover below (which is now on both Smashwords for the e-books AND at Lulu for the print version) is a completely original work of art which DOES HAVE a copyright! And Greg is responsible for creating this wonderful image that really captures what the Dreamkeeper looked like all of those years ago.

This kind of ‘borrowing’ of other people’s covers and other people’s book themes goes on ALL of the time in the writing and publishing world and it is one of the reasons why I don’t release the names of my books to the public until they are online, available, and have an ISBN attached to them with a copyright. The stories that I have read on writer’s forums would turn your hair white!!!

Interesting times we live in, eh?
