<p>After a long absence, I am back in the writing game with my next book. For those who might wonder why, ask the corrupt US publisher who had me trapped in a three year contract and never paid any royalties. Alas, now I'm free to publish at will.</p>

<p>We had only just begun the marketing process and I pick up a funny notion about cover designs across waters. I have had favourable feedback from US folks regarding the cover design, but it seems the cover is too offensive for South African stores. I know some releases have different covers for different countries.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am not sure if it is because of the bit of blood on the cover or because of what the cover represents. Maybe with the issue of brutal farm attacks, it is a bit too close to home? A section of the story does touch on this topic.</p>
<p></p>
<p>What do you think? Would this cover offend or intrigue you?</p>

I was photographed for the autumn version of SOUTH magazine. The end result was a very scary-looking James. I tried smiling but it only made me look even scarier.<br />

Having spoken to many different authors about the social obligations that form part of the author's vocation, the feedback was unanimous: we hate the limelight. Well, surely not all authors but most of us.<br />

I believe the reason for this is because most of our interaction takes place with fictional characters who understands us. There…

<br />
I believe the reason for this is because most of our interaction takes place with fictional characters who understands us. There is no real solution to this. We simply prefer to be behind a computer screen or in the back of a coffee shop studying the other patrons.<br />
<br />
If indeed I form part of the minority then I stand corrected. Other authors, dovyou like the limelight? And to all the readers, do you like seeing pictures of the authors you read?<br />
