How to Turn Your Books Into Art I’ve had a lot of fun playing with word clouds on a website called Tagul.

For those of you who are curious as to what I do to prep for a launch party, I decided to show you through pictures. Usually, the first thing that happens is I get my author copies of the book in the mail. The paperback of Recreated was released around the same time as the hardbacks of Reunited.
