The next book's getting close . . .

Miss D. and I have just come home after spending the evening with Oleg.  I cooked for him and a few of our mutual friends, and he produced the cover for my prison chaplaincy memoir.  It'll look like this:

(EDITED TO ADD:  Apparently some people are having trouble viewing the above image on certain browsers and/or operating systems.  If you're one of them, try clicking on these links.  Here's a .JPG image on Picasa, and here's a .PNG version.  One or both should work for you.)

The man's a genius at the computer.  Miss D. and I selected the base image and co-wrote the cover blurb.  He took both, combined them in a cover template, and added fonts, shading, special effects and his own unique skills to produce the above image (which will be used for the e-book version;  the print version contains a back cover as well, with the cover blurb).  I would say I envy him, except that I don't have enough of a visual imagination to do what he does even if I had the same level of graphics program computer skills.  (Then again, he couldn't write my books, so I guess we're even!)
