Help pick the cover for “Lyin’ Fish”

July 23, 2015 By Eric Douglas

Next month, I’m releasing a new novella, featuring the gang from ScubaRadio, called “Lyin’ Fish.” But I want your feedback on the book cover. Select your favorite, or tell me which parts of which ones you like in the comments below.

“The crew from the nationally-syndicated talk radio show ScubaRadio comes to sleepy Withrow Key for a lionfish rodeo, but immediately Jackson Pauley feels something isn’t right. “Greg the Divemaster” Holt can barely dive. When Jackson spears a lionfish, Greg grabs it and gets stung. The radio show is a disaster. When Duffy, the local bar owner, goes missing Jackson, Littlebear and Zach jump into action to unravel the mystery and save their friend.”

Lyin’ Fish is the ninth story from Withrow Key. Set on a bypassed key in the Florida Keys, life moves a little slower and a little weirder. Each Withrow Key thriller features scuba diving, adventure, boats, the ocean and mystery along with beautiful locations and scenery.

If you’ve missed the earlier Withrow Key stories, you can read them all in Tales from Withrow Key.

Sunlight Prints

Cyanotype printing, also known as Sunlight Prints, is an antique photo printing technique, first used around 1842. Cyanotypes are made by mixing two chemicals (ammonium iron citrate and potassium ferricyanide) and treating paper, cloth or canvas, making it sensitive to ultraviolet light. The sun turns the chemical blue while whatever is shaded stays white. One of the earliest uses for cyanotype was for naturalists to capture images of plants. The same process is used to create “blue prints” of … Read more
