I have permission to post this piece about my book Composing Magic -- which, by the way, has earned out its advance and started to earn royalties. \o/ I am charmed by how much this resembles my original pitch for writing the book. That's pretty much the list of goals I had in mind for it. :D

There is an interview of me in the Wiccan/Pagan Times. This interview discusses various Pagan topics and my book, Composing Magic: How to Create Magical Spells, Rituals, Blessings, Chants, and Prayers. TWPT is a fine webzine that collects author and artist news, articles, seasonal celebration ideas, columns, reviews, networking resources, editorial musings, and miscellaneous other news and announcements of interest to the Pagan community.

I needed a banner for my book Composing Magic and the nice people in New Page's publicity department made this for me:



What's particularly interesting is that this isn't the way I would've made a banner. I was thinking, put a thumbnail of the whole cover on the left, and some text on the right. I've seen banners like that. But I think this one is better. While I'm not a professional designer, I am keenly interested in graphic design/layout theory. I've been making my own business cards, panel flyers, and other stuff for years; and I know it works, because I get traffic and compliments. (Oh, and there was the year I and three other people put together most of the high school yearbook.) It's just really cool to learn something new in this area.

Anyone else into graphic design? Particularly as applied to self-promotion?
