Slowly it became obvious that something was going to have to be done about this.

As it happens, along the way — as part of an ongoing fascination with digital art — I started picking up tools that were going to make this process easier. And slowly (because the learning curve is kind of high on these tools and I also have other work to be doing) I started acquiring the expertise to use them effectively. So the process of updating the covers has begun. (Along with the business of grooming out any typos that have turned up / been reported in the texts, and updating the ebook “interiors” to more modern / better formatted versions.) People on my and elsewhere have occasionally inquired in a general way about what’s involved with this kind of work: so I thought I’d do a post about it. The first and more complex of the two tools is specifically, Terragen 3 at the moment (though I look forward to updating to T4 when I have the cash to spare.)

(You know, as in “Beautiful Downtown Burbank.”) She was asking whether they could use a quote from one of the books (from, in fact) to decorate one of the walls in their new teen section.
