When I finished Immune I created myself a little cover to go with it. I hated giving out beta copies without something on top - jumping the gun a wee bit I know but it felt more like a 'book' to me that way! Anyhow my cover was nothing fancy by any means, I put it together on Word with clipart and then somehow(I can't recall how exactly) I managed to turn it into a jpeg and post it on my website. http://emmashortt.co.uk/immunecover.aspx.
Now just the other day a lovely chap called Andre from my Facebook group To Stalk a Publisher e-mailed for some advice about the length of his novel. I replied with the advice I have been given by my Litopian crew and he e-mailed me back with a thank you and a little present.
That little present was a new cover for Immune. Andre had taken the original one and done some whizzyness to produce me the cover above. I have to say I really like it - It was kind of strange to have someone creating a cover for a book I love so much and one that I happened to write!
So a big thank you to Andre for his creativeness.

I'm impressed - that looks really good!!
First: That's a great cover!
Second: Andre, you're a great guy and you could not have presented this act of kindness and might I say adoration to a more deserving person than Emma.
Third: Emma, stay away from clipart; stick with Andre :)
