Carolyn Riker’s blog “My anger is real and just” is the most honest blog about feelings I’ve had the pleasure of reading. Honest and raw in feeling. Well said, Carolyn! Thank you for your honesty, and sharing it with the masses.

Warning. I’m super grumpy.

I almost dread what’ll come out of my mouth.

Skimming through my newsfeed, I detest the catchy psycho-babble nonsense that’ll cure your [insert any label] in 10 quick easy tips!” All I hear is blah, blah, blah.  Flip [scroll] the page and shake my head.

The first image was far too generic for me, in my head was something smoother, older looking, something to give real ‘feeling’ to the efforts of both artists.

I wasn’t keen on the first cover with the italics and the regimented lines, it needed something to make it speak to me. After a couple of hours (the wee small ones in the UK) and much discussion with Nico, he sent through the image you see on the above picture and, with a little 3D magic applied from me, what we have now is the finalised cover to You’re Not Alone –…
