Final Draft of Refugee Was My Name

It seems like we are on the home stretch now. The editor sent me the final draft for me to look over one more time.

I did catch a few corrections, some of which involve factual information, while others have to do with Liberian English (again). However, the vast majority of the manuscript is looking really great.

Also, we are deciding on a photo to put on the back of the book. I have picked one with Miss Harriet and I on it. I hope it shows here well. Let me know if you have a preference. Please use the comment box on this page for your feedback.

Professional Book Cover for Refugee Was My Name

Some things are better left to the professionals. Designing a book cover is one of them. You may have seen my almost best shot at crafting an attractive book cover for Refugee Was My Name. Well, though I might have felt good about how much time and creativity I dumped into the effort, Miss Harriet, my wife kept saying, "Can't you find a different photo?"

Robert Saydee, my boyhood friend, didn't sound upbeat about the cover photo either. But the publisher entertained my gesture at a good try. So I was willing to live with it, though at the back of my mind I desired a better cover page for the book.

Long story short, here it is ... the professional cover page for the book. Take a look and tell me what you think.
