I'm strictly e-publishing for now. Amazon has their Kindle Direct Publishing program that allows me access to a relatively wide audience. The only trick is I need to stay exclusive with them for 90 days at a clip (you sign up for 90 days initially; it's a renewable arrangement).
So the book cover is mainly for promotional purposes (though certainly the mobi file would have a cover). I did it in Paintshop Pro (though I'm getting Photoshop). I know just enough in that program to be dangerous. :-) I wish I knew how to blend the bracelet in a little better. I'm happy with the composite, but as I'm using two different sources (the man and the jewelry), the lighting is different. The bracelet shines more than I would like.
WOW! Amazing! I had no idea, am seriously impressed and wish you all the luck in the world! The cover looks brilliant and I love your name! Well done you - shall give it a read as soon as I can! :D
I am bally well positive they will - we all know how good you are! :D
School is alright, thanks, pet - actually, it's finished! As of yesterday - can't quite believe that's it! I am sad but it's also a bit of a relief... Now just focusing on deadline upon deadline (currently sitting at 385 words against the 12,000 I need to write in the next four weeks!), then exams and then dissertation in for September! Awft!
Still, the sun is out and I have lots and lots of nice times planned for when the worst of it is over, at the end of May, so shall continue to study and scrabble, I suppose! :D
Wow. Wow, that was fast. It doesn't seem all that long ago we were talking about your going to school in Oklahoma. ;-p Glad to know you're cheery despite all the work upcoming. I know you'll do great!

Btw, how do you create such a lovely book cover?
Are you self publishing?

Thanks so much for the WOW. That means a lot. I'm excited, but a little nervous. Hopefully, people will like it.
