Deviation Actions
Warlock is the sixth novel in my series of romantic, interstellar adventures.
It may well be the be the best book I've ever written, but I won't publish it until I have great cover art.
So, purely for the love of the game, I offer an open challenge to all of Deviant Art to take a whack at some cover art for this little masterpiece of mine.
This is not a contest or competition, there is no prize offered, but if by some twist of fate someone comes close enough to what I'm after I have to offer compensation to use it (I think it's a law or something) and of course, the artist will be recognized on the copyright page of every book.
(Yeah, I print old-timey paperback books.)
What I need is a sort of spooky secret agent cover, nothing pinup.
Think man of action, with a Japanese woman in a green dress.
If you can manage it, I'd like them to be overshadowed by a ghostly redhead.
If you enjoy a challenge, then have at it.

The Key
Last Friday, while enjoying the homemade tuna salad sandwich I'd made for her, Cindy told me she wanted my key to her apartment. I handed it over without hesitation, even though she owes me $5 for it. I had that key cut at Lowes, with my coin, so I could keep an eye on her cat while Cindy was in Florida, burying her mother. Now, after 17 years of friendship, she wants the key back so she can give it to her new boyfriend...uh-huh. Derby bought Cindy a second chance 7 years ago, she does not get a third, but I miss that little orange cat. It's a little weird, being completely alone for the first time in my life, so today I took a seat in the lobby just to be around other people. That's when Cindy and her new guy came to the door, saw me, turned around and left. I have to admit I was amused, especially since they could've just walked right past me without a word. Hell she could've introduced the the new Keymaster, we would've exchanged pleasantries before they left. If she
Hewlett-Packard PSC-750
Typing feels like I'm poking at an ice-cold bed of nails but I'm going nuts, I've gots to write something so I'll tell you about my old printer. HP makes excellent printers, I'm particularly fond of my PSC-750 so four years ago I stocked up on ink. Good thing too, as HP stopped making 78 (color) and 15 (black) since then. Two days ago I cajoled the old girl into aligning one last HP15, and set about one final big job. I hope there's enough to complete the job because this is it, the end of the road for the best printer I've ever had. The 750 is over twenty years old but it can do things it's contemporaries can't, and I'm going to miss that. It still works just fine, but who wants a big, clunky old thing when you can have a shiny new piece of ugly junk? I do.
Laundry Service
My building has two washers and two dryers for twenty-four apartments. I was under the impression both washers had been broken until I heard - and felt- the spin cycle. Great, I can get some laundry done! After a half hour I lost patience. The idiot left his laundry card in the washer so fork it, I'll load the dryer and start it for him so I can get my towels done. He'd shoved every stitch of clothing he owned into that washer, so it took time to transfer everything...then I found the wrench socket. Now I know which of my inconsiderate neighbors stuffed the machine. Jason showed up about fifteen minutes into my wash, threw some dryer sheets in the dryer then wandered off again. The dryer was so packed, he had to start it for another hour but by then my towels are in the other dryer. My towels are dry, folded and put away, Jason's load remains in the other dryer. I don't care enough to see how long it sits there, but I'm convinced no one's mommy taught them how to do
Dangerous?
I just read a story that has me questioning the value of MSN News. I kid you not, here's the link. https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/by-far-the-most-dangerous-situation-i-ve-ever-been-in-customer-films-entire-restaurant-standing-for-star-spangled-banner-in-the-middle-of-their-meals/ar-AA1aylzD?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=2381d42ecf1f402ca85a80cc07ea78bf&ei=25 This happened in California so I don't know what's more surprising, that everyone stood or someone was terrified by it. I mean when I visited Parris Island my brother cautioned me to remain still when the bugle call signaled the lowering of the flag for the day. I was insulted that he felt the need to explain that to me but this? Seriously?

Hi
Here is an idea, not an entry since I don't own the images I put together. It was just a mockup to help you with letting people know what you like or not. This was my first attempt at a project like this and I found it very interesting.:origin()/pre00/142e/th/pre/f/2018/031/a/e/warlock_book_cover_idea_by_delve_art-dc1sb8u.png)
