Could I perhaps email it to you, for you to upload, see if it makes any difference?

We can but try! I'll pm you my email, or do you already have it from your last books?

No,I don't have it, Ignite sent them to you

Is it all about whether it's a gif or a j-peg. If it's one try switching to the other maybe.

Cheers

Ignite... congratulations!

Cheers

MTM

I just tried uploading it, can you take a look and see if it worked?

This is the cover as I see it on your book page:



BTW, try setting the "This topic is about" in the top of this thread to Alloria - you ought to see the thumbnail...

David, as a thought: try clearing your browser's cache - that might make the cover show up.

Allora's cover appears fine for me too. Good luck with the book, David.

At least it seems to be working for everyone else, David!

Seems so. I'm working at the library at the moment, and can't see it on their computer either. A friend of mine can't see it on his, so I wonder if it's a regional thing.

Could be cause you are the author, seems weird but that's the only difference between you and everyone else!

No, I've tried searching without longing on, on different computers too. I've emailed goodreads about it, see what they come up with.

Well it looks good to me

So It's everyone then, except me, people who live near me, and the libraries near me. Strange! Thanks for the approval, Jim.

Obviously they felt that if you got to see it, you'd swell up with pride and it might be dangerous for you :-)

So, it's a health and safety issue?

David wrote: "So, it's a health and safety issue?"

yep. elf and safety strikes again

Pesky elfs, they've been trying to get in to my writing for ages! So they pitch my picture out of spite. I'm not letting them in; it's not that kind of fantasy

I confess to writing fantasy without elves, dwarrows, hobbitsess or even dark lords.

Mind you, dark lords have never been the same for me after reading Will's books about the banned underground

If you want a great Dark Lord book (sorry to hijack your thread David!) you need to read Paul Dale's The Dark Lord's Handbook Dead funny!

If it's relevant (and it is), I wouldn't call it hijacking. I scared to take a look, my reading list is too long already

Hijacking an authors thread is quite common here, but we mean well.

Not quite a dark lord, but I did download the evil overlord list

The Top 100 Things I'd Do
If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord
1. My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors, not face-concealing ones.
2. My ventilation ducts will be too small to crawl through.
3. My noble half-brother whose throne I usurped will be killed, not kept anonymously imprisoned in a forgotten cell of my dungeon.
4. Shooting is not too good for my enemies.
5. The artifact which is the source of my power will not be kept on the Mountain of Despair beyond the River of Fire guarded by the Dragons of Eternity. It will be in my safe-deposit box. The same applies to the object which is my one weakness.
6. I will not gloat over my enemies' predicament before killing them.
7. When I've captured my adversary and he says, "Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?" I'll say, "No." and shoot him. No, on second thought I'll shoot him then say "No."
8. After I kidnap the beautiful princess, we will be married immediately in a quiet civil ceremony, not a lavish spectacle in three weeks' time during which the final phase of my plan will be carried out.
9. I will not include a self-destruct mechanism unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary, it will not be a large red button labelled "Danger: Do Not Push". The big red button marked "Do Not Push" will instead trigger a spray of bullets on anyone stupid enough to disregard it. Similarly, the ON/OFF switch will not clearly be labelled as such.
10. I will not interrogate my enemies in the inner sanctum -- a small hotel well outside my borders will work just as well.

Very good. My baddy has broken at least a couple of these.

Haha! Brilliant Jim!

You have mail, I lifted the full list off the web somewhere

Wonderful! I wish I'd said - all of - that!

Ignite wrote: "Wonderful! I wish I'd said - all of - that!"

It is good isn't it :-)

Hopefully you have more mail as well

My baddie has flagrantly diaregarded rule 8.... Sort of.

I did have more mail Jim. I'm reading it now.

Can you pass it on? I'm curious to know what the other 90% says.

David wrote: "Can you pass it on? I'm curious to know what the other 90% says."

You got mail as well.
Perhaps I should just past the whole darn document into the box here :-)

Bit worried, all these potential dark lords about!

Ignite wrote: "I did have more mail Jim. I'm reading it now."

oh goodie.
Sits very quiet so not to disturb anyone

Sadly, my longest reads are in the evening. I was out last night, I'm hosting a meeting here tonight and we've got friends coming for dinner tomorrow night. Weekend's free though! Yay!

If I was a dark lord I'd have a big castle with turrets and make all my prisoners dress in pretty princess dresses and Prince Charming outfits then we'd watch Disney movies all day :o)

Cruel and unusual punishment Jud!

Thanks Jim. I'm off to work now, so shall read it later.

Jud, other than the dressing up part and the big castle... ok the film part, I think my daughters fall into your description of dark lords

ALL daughters do!
(I have one and I am one!)

Mwahahahahaha

Would you not be a Dark Lady Jud?

It's not the same, ladying it over people though, is it Rosemary?

No - just doesn't have the same ring, does it!

I think Galadriel's speech about whether she should become a Dark Lady in the book LotR was perhaps her best lines

Instead of a Dark Lord you would have a Queen! Beautiful and terrible something something All would love me and despair!

something something... LOL!

Something, something, dark side. Something, something, complete.

Ah yes, Family Guy. I have that on DVD somewhere... Brilliant! :)

That's the one.
If you're auditioning, you've got the job!
