This is a great way to add awareness for this cause. The red colors jump right off the page at you. I like the look of the gold against the black background.

    Thank you so much! I am working over the 13 stories now. It's quite a project! The children seem so much more in tune with the wilderness than American children do..

What a story of your early life. To rural Midwest raise white male, this is mind blowing. What a sheltered life I have lead. I commend you on your efforts to tell the stories. I am sure that your efforts will be appreciated and open the eyes of many that had no idea of these conditions existing. The world has gotten a lot smaller these days however, back in the 60's and 70's communications and news coverage was not widespread or in some cases not newsworthy. Best of luck in your work.

    Thank you for your thoughtful review! Yes, if you check my site you will discover how complicated a person's life can be. This is actually only a detail, but harks back to where it all started with my English father's birth in Uganda, lol...

This is a beautiful cover for your book, I really wish you the very best in getting it published. It's a stunning image is the crested crane and I love the way you placed it in the circular frame . Very elegant appearance will draw the eye ! Well created, arranged and presented! Best wishes to you!

Comment from Mr Jones


that is a great and vital looking cover. my dad used to paint these crowned cranes to and they are a fine subject for any artist to depict. the whole design is both very eye catching and also reflective of that nation's culture (identity). my best friend's mother and father escaped that most terrible regime.

    Very interesting as I think I mentioned somewhere. I would like to see a copy of one of your father's crane paintings.... Thank you for your support!

A very eye catching cover for the book which I imagine is full of some amazing insights. The symmetry of the cover works well and your choice of colors are great. Hope you succeed in publishing the book. This is an unknown story which needs to be told.

First of all what a wonderful project and an amazing amount of work you have done. Your symbolic cover is extremely well thought out and your ability to produce this is very evident in that you have captured eye catching impact. The colours are dynamic. The writing a perfect combination. Good luck in the venture. And will see what I can do 're a contribution.

A very striking and attractive image posted here! That red square immediately stands out and attracts attention because of the contrasting black borders. Like the symmetry of it. Well created!

What a professional and eye catching cover for your work.
The red and black are perfect with the gold border accent.
The center profile of the crane again is an excellent choice and very appropriate for this art. Touch of green complimenting the red is icing on the cake!
Fantastic!
