More New Covers

Here is the last batch of my new and revamped covers. I particularly like the way they all visually hook together. Now, there's an Anne Marie Novark book brand.

Adam's Temptation is the only contemporary book of mine not set in Texas. The Florida location and the lighthouse was fun to write. Of course, the characters are fun, too.

The two revamped covers for my Return to Stone Creek series are eye-catching. Her Reluctant Rancher got a complete face-lift. Much sexier than the windmill on the original edition, IMO.

I used the same photo image for Tall Dark and Texan. The fonts were changed and rearranged to make the cover more consistent with the rest of my books.

 Last but certainly not least, Texan Undercover kept the same gorgeous Jimmy Thomas photo. The fonts were changed and also rearranged to give it an Anne Marie Novark kind of look.







All in all, I'm very pleased with the results. From here on in, my book covers will have the same look.

Happy Reading!!!

How to Make a Clickable Image Link

 Techno-Tips for the Techno-Challenged

If you've ever wondered how to make a picture or image clickable as in making it a hyperlink, look no more. I'm going to show you how to do it in the simplest way even the most techno-challenged person can understand. I know, because I'm pretty much a techno-klutz (as you know).

First your image must be somewhere online, whether on your website, blog or a photo-site like Flikr or Photobucket. To find the web address of the image, right-click on your image and choose View Image. The image's URL will appear in the "address window."

Basic html code for an image hyperlink:

 <a href="web address you're linking to"><img src="web address of image you're linking from"></a>

1.  Copy and paste the URL/web address of the site you're linking to in the code above. Replace the first green string of words with your URL of the destination site.

Example:  <a href="http://annemarienovark.com/?p=885"

2.  Copy and paste the Image's URL/web address that you located the very first thing into the code above. Replace the second green string of words with the URL of your image.

Example:  ><img src="http://annemarienovark.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/ToHisLadysRescueLg-683x1024.jpg"></a>

To control the image size, you can add parameters to the code like this:

<a href="web address you're linking to"><img alt="width"164"=" border="0" height="308"  src="web address of image you're linking from"></a>


This line of code makes the picture this size:

 

If you want a smaller image, you change the width and height like this:

<a href="web address you're linking to"><img alt="width"64"=" border="0" height="208"  src="web address of image you're linking from"></a>

 

To center the position of your image, you add this parameter:

<center><a href="web address you're linking to">img alt="width"64"=" border="0" height="208"  src="web address of image you're linking from"></a></center>




So there you have it. Several simple lines of code to help you make hyperlinks for images on your website or blog.

Cheers!!!

BICHOK Monday

I've been busy the past couple of weeks updating/revamping my bookcovers, and I believe I'm finally caught up for now.

Time to jump back on the writing bandwagon and get some serious writing done on this Regency Novella. I would like to get it up and live by Valentine's Day, but it's going to take some doing. I already have the title and the cover is made (yay!).

Here are my writing goals for the week:

*  Write 4000 words on novella.

*  Write blurb.

*  Write techno-article for blog and newsletter.

*  Check on status of the online class I'm supposed to teach in February.

*  Maybe write a little on a short story (just to see if I can work on two projects at once).

*  Dig out project notebook on Tyler's story.

Busy week ahead!!!

Happy Writing!!!
