I’m incredibly excited to be able to share the cover for my newest book and first poetry collection, Seeking Solace. I’m really happy with how it turned out and hope you like it.
The book should be available in both Kindle and paperback formats within the coming week or so – I will of course keep you updated here on my blog.
It’s been a long time in the making and as much as I’m looking forward to having a neat, documented way to look back at a significant portion of my poems for my own benefit, I can’t wait to also share it with anyone out there kind enough to spare their time to read what I have to say.
It is GORGEOUS, Callum! What a great cover idea, concept, execution, and all. I love it, and I would reblog it on The Write Stuff, but I’d much rather YOU post a full post about it directly there. If you don’t, I will come back and reblog, but I hope you will. Congratulations! Let’s share this! Tweeting now.
Thank you, Marcia! I’m so glad you like it and would love to share it over on The Write Stuff, which I will hopefully do soon 🙂
I really appreciate all your wonderful support.
Awesome cover for some awesome content. 😉 Can’t wait to order mine. 😀
Thank you so much! That means a lot 🙂
This is the best news ever! The cover is beautiful, a fitting representation of all the treasures inside. I can’t wait until it’s available. Please let me know when you have an official release announcement, I’d like to do a post on it too. Congratulations, Callum. You must be absolutely thrilled 🙂
I’m glad you like it and even more glad that you share in my excitement! Thanks as always for your support, Mel 🙂
My pleasure. I always get excited for my friends, and right now I feel like a child on Christmas morning!!

Check out this awesome cover for Callum’s poetry collection. I’m so excited about its release, and the opportunity to share the news.

Hi, Callum. I was wondering as I will be publishing a poetry collection later this year, what are ypu promotion plans. Do you plan just to give away a few copies to friends and family or will you try and get your collection into bookstores?
I’m definitely not as good at marketing and promotion as I should be. It’s true that word of mouth is definitely best – tell everyone and anyone who you think may be interested. That’s where online communities like here on WordPress also come in handy – form friendships with fellow readers/writers and you’d be amazed at the support you receive.
Other than that, giveaways on sites like Goodreads are pretty popular these days, as are Kindle giveaways or promotions on Amazon.
Sorry for that barrage! Best of luck with your poetry collection. I hope things go well for you.
What a gorgeous cover! Congratulations on the new book. And I’m with Mel – I’d love to host you for a release day announcement!
Thank you, Kay! It’s brilliant to have your support.
You’re most welcome! Anything you need, I’m your girl. 🙂
I loooove the cover!!! Congrats Callum! I’d love to host you and do an interview for Behind The Scenes, if you’re up for it. Let me know and we can work on a schedule that fits with your release. 🙂
Thank you! That sounds great – I’ll definitely be in touch 🙂
Love the cover, Callum! Congrats on your new release!
Thank you very much, Gina!
You are more than welcome. I will also be spreading the news on release day. 😀
Wonderful 🙂
Who designed this cover?
An artist called Daniela – You can find her here: https://twitter.com/Dani_Cover_Art
She is talented! I may hire her for my next book cover.
