The Dark Arts Book
After a lot of thought about the comments I
received I have created a book. It is my first
so please bare with me. I will prolong this
project if it doesn’t do well the first month.
Filling my time with more effective ways
seems a bit more logical.
Check out The Dark Arts when you get the
chance.As always, thank you for being so
supportive and helpful !!!

You’ve got some really nice stuff happening there, Ash!
That book looks really smick and it does your work a lot of justice!
From the previews it looked very nicely compiled!
I hope you do well from it!
Ash Sivils replied
Thank you so much sweetheart.
The program was a huge headache..
I didn’t really look at anyone else’s
so I am hoping it looks ok.

I am not sure if I would do
it again or just hire someone.

Ash, someone once said that we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, however I knew from the second I saw your perfect cover art that your book was going to take a sledgehammer to that cliche!
What a fantastic format for your hauntingly luminous style – I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy. Hope you feel that the effort was worth the result, as it is a beautiful showcase of your work.
Ash Sivils replied
Peter – I always look forward to reading what you have to
say. Maybe it’s because you flatter me so much! ha ha
Seriously – I am such a stickler for mistakes, they strongly
annoy me but just my own.
There is a thank you section in the back of the book.
I find that you might be pleasantly surprised to see
your name. You are always so kind to me and for
that I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Ash it looks great!!! I am going to order mine without the Hardcover sleeve, that just falls off all the time, I am going to get the cover imprinted right on the front, which is another option that Blurb Offers.

First – great cover art! It’s simple, eye-catching and intriguing. It makes you wonder what’s inside, which is what good cover art should do. There’s a book cover group here that I think you should submit to. It never hurts to get a little more exposure.
Second – love the layout with the full shot on the left and a half page shot on the right. And you kept it consistent, which gives the book a nice flow.
Third – you grouped similarly themed images on opposite pages.(eyes together, ‘bound’ people together, ‘behind glass’, grim reaper, outdoor shots together, etc). This gives another nice consistency.
All together it looks very professional. Well done!

You did a great job!! Hopefully I will be gainfully employed soon so I can add it to my collection. Plus it has inspired me to think about doing a book next year.
