One
Random Fact:
All of our books have a page count that is a
multiple of eight because of the printing process. That is why some books have
blank pages in the back or front.
Any thoughts about the Shoot:
Both of
my photo shoots were a lot of fun. I never imagined I would be on a book cover.
The pictures of me for The Awakening
were so simple and it was amazing to see how well the cover turned out. Our
graphic designers are so talented. I was glad I got to see the process of
making a cover, so I could really appreciate how much work goes into it.
