I let it go for far too long and finally got around to updating bookcreatives.com last night. I’d been meaning to for quite some time, but clients always come first for me – and I’ve been a very busy boy.
It’s not quite finished as you can see, but I needed to get a move on because my shiny new, state-of-the-art web server goes online later today and I want to begin migrating to the new server next week!
A big thanks to Issara Willenskomer for graciously furnishing some of his design elements that I used in the new header.

This past November Penguin published “The Truth About Chuck Norris: 400 facts about the World’s Greatest Human” – a parody that pokes a little fun at Norris’ tough-guy image. Mr. Norris has usually been good natured about these “facts” and has made a soft drink commercial that capitalizes on their popularity, and more recently, a political endorsement for Mike Huckabee that in itself perpetuates the schtick.
Apparently, Mr. Norris has had a change in heart and has decided to sue publisher Penguin, feeling his name and likeness are being exploited, and that these mythical facts now somehow “Wrongly portray him.” Which of course they do, but that’s the nature of parody – a parody he himself encouraged.
I live in Chula Vista, California with my wife Susana, and our son Alex. For fun and income, I design books, websites, marketing materials, and occasionally foray into video production.
I've worked on hundreds of books over the years for traditional publishers, print on demand, and self-publishing authors. I possess the experience and expertise to bring your project to fruition both inexpensively, and with style.
