Do you judge a book by its cover? I'm thinking of changing the cover of our already-published book!!! 😮
Tell me which cover you would click on: the new one in sunny yellow or the existing cover in sandy beige?
The yellow reflects @TeresaHeartchild's love of life -- and the urgency of getting her freed. It should attract the eye for Amazon clicks.
But the beige may be some book-lover's sophisticated fave. 🤔 What do you think? @bookstodon @bookgaga

Franke James' book cover in sandy beige for "Freeing Teresa: A True Story about Fighting Ableism." The book is sitting on a striped, multi-hued couch.

@madrobin Thank you! Certainly, @TeresaHeartchild (the raison d'etre for the book) demands attention, not only in her tie-dye-wearing fashions but her assertions that she's a self-advocate! ☀️ @bookstodon @bookgaga

@willaful Yes, well when you read the book, it's a roller-coaster true story. Definitely not peaceful! Here's one quote to give you an idea. “Full of insight, heartbreak and inspiration. This no-holds-barred story is a must-read for anyone working in the field of disability rights.”

@suelli Yes I’ve read Jennifer Seniors’ article in the Atlantic! It was so great. 👍 My sister Teresa is the tip of the iceberg to have this happen to her. It’s a roller coaster story and this book is to celebrate her 10 years of freedom!

@suelli @TeresaHeartchild Jennifer Senior’s story was heartbreaking 💔 but the topic is so important and the fact that she was telling it in the Atlantic was excellent. @bookstodon @bookgaga

@bookgaga
Vicki, Thanks for your feedback on the yellow vs beige covers and the fonts! It's been great to hear everyone's thoughtful reactions. The varied responses have inspired a new idea!
📣 My "Freeing Teresa" dedication says, "FOR THOSE WHO ARE DIFFERENT."
So, our concept is to have a different colour for each format. (The specs and ISBNs are unique for each format: e-book, paperback, hardcover, audiobook.) Here's a mockup that we'll be fine-tuning. @TeresaHeartchild @bookstodon

Hooray! I did my first public reading of 'Freeing Teresa' at Spectrum Society's Open House today. The crowd was keen on hearing my true story as thousands of people like @TeresaHeartchild (and others with ) are pressured into instead of being supported to live in the . https://www.spectrumsociety.org/book-launch-freeing-teresa-october-24-2023-2pm/ @bookstodon

Authors shocked to find ripoffs of their books being sold on Amazon
, sometimes with multiple bogus titles going online in one day, has hit writers like Rory Cellan-Jones

"The ersatz biography and other titles by the pseudonymous author were removed by Amazon, but plenty more get through the filters intended to weed out low-quality books."
