Welcome to the first ever [not really a] Ninja News!
A: The latest happenings or current offers or maybe just ramblings...
[not really] Ninja's don't particularly appreciate being questioned. Or being defined, for that matter.
Topic #1 - Designing FULL TIME... Again.
I've pretty much been "outa the game" for the past year and a half (full time day jobs, who needs em, am I right?) and now that I'm back home I feel like I am finally back in the world! Twitter and Facebook and, and, and BLOGGING!! I can't believe all that I've missed. I'm RT'ing tweets from months ago (sorry guys) and just now getting around to posting the cover for Live To Tell (see number 3) who KNOWS what I'll find next!Topic #1 (part 2) - Please accept my gratitude.
I feel very lucky to say that I have a handful of faithful clients who've made sure that my creative juices didn't just dry up and die. While I am over-the-moon-excited to announce that I'm accepting new business, I also realize there is a much wider variety of affordable and very TALENTED options to choose from these days. I can't thank you all enough for your continued business!Item B - FREE COVER Offer. (Yes, I jumped from Topic #1 Part 2 to Item B because I can't decide how I want to format these. I'm just going to keep trying them out until I find one I like).
And I also DID say FREE! I haven't been able to get any hits on this giveaway between forum posts and even a Twitter campaign. I'm starting believe folks don't really like Free stuff anymore? Is that true?
I didn't think my contest (to find the *keyword*, which is still hidden somewhere on my website at torriecooney.com) was overly challenging... I mean, somewhat challenging... but not overwhelmingly challenging. I'm not going to post it on the home page with a flashing neon sign, people! Seriously. Someone please find this thing... it's a FREE COVER DESIGN!
3. New BIANCA SLOANE Cover!
Bianca is one of those very faithful clients, mentioned above, whom I can't thank enough for letting me work on her covers as she continues to exponentially spread her awesomeness out to the world. We generally wrap up her designs long before she is ready to release her novels so I wait to showcase them in my gallery (I can't spoil the surprise, hello!). I get REALLY excited when I'm finally allowed to show them off - so without further adieu, I give you Live To Tell!

•√˚ยบ Apparently I should just use Bullet Points.
I was just reading that using numbers or letters to label my topics actually signifies an order of importance. [not really] Ninjas don't like to over complicate things so I will just move forward using bullets or symbols.
(Just in case I need to credit where exactly I was reading this helpful advice, here is a link to the article. She seems like a pretty nice lady.)
• Seriously... A free cover.
I refuse to give hints to the location of the keyword.
Sincerely,
Torrie
P.S. Do I really need to sign this thing? It is the news. Maybe I need a catchy sign off like "Stay classy, San Diego" or "That's the way the cookie crumbles".
Hmm... I'll get back to you on that.
