Take that, Rob Wells!

The problem with sharing a blog with inspiring, funny, talented, people is that you really have to dig to find your niche. I know, I’ll blog about LDSBA. Yeah, right. How do I compete with pictures of Annette Lyon passed out in the lobby in a drunken stupor? Maybe I’ll be the guy who knows how to make amazing parade floats. Taken. Maybe I can talk about using coupons to finance an entire house. Nope. Maybe I can line up cool guest bloggers? Maybe I can talk about why Canada really is a country? Maybe I can make my outfits match my book covers? You see my problem?

When you have your own blog you only have to write something slightly funny and compared to your normal stuff it’s hilarious. If you throw in a few words like loyalty and grit, and maybe include a picture of a flag or Albert Einstein, you’re inspirational. Mention ketchup chips and everyone thinks you’re hip on international cuisine.

I know what you’re thinking, at least you can write about your books. Nope. Rob even beat me to that—complete with pithy covers. Ahh, but I do have one last card up my sleeve. On my personal blog, jscottsavage.blogspot.com, I blogged last Friday about the inside illustrations for Land Keep. If you haven’t seen them, you should drop by. Brandon Dorman is a total stud. It’s worth writing the books just to see what he does with the art. But here at the frog blog I am debuting the new cover for Land Keep. Let’s see Wells beat that!

This is the front cover. That's right pigs fly in this book!

And this is the artwork that will wrap all the way around back!

So what do you think? Does it beat Swamp Keep? Cry your eyes out Rob Wells!

(Contest update. If you commented on the blog when I did the contest for Shandra and Land Keep and e-mailed me about getting a copy e-mailed to you, I haven’t forgotten. Lisa promised me that tomorrow I will have the final Land Keep PDF to send out to you. Shandra is undergoing a couple of last minute revisions and I will also get those out this week.)
