The Grapes Of Wrath Blogfest & Competition

I'm taking part in The Grapes Of Wrath Blogfest today, hosted by the wonderful Brenda Drake. It features prizes. Really awesome prizes. The winner will receive a professional cover art design by CA Marshall. Can you get a prize much better than that? Two other entrants will also win a surprise.

All you have to do is redesign a book cover - your own or any book you like. It can be funny or dead serious. Sign up to the linky on Brenda's blog, and post it on your blog today.

My entry was inspired by a childhood love of the What Katy Did books - only I added a murderous twist. In my version Katy went on a murderous rampage at boarding school. Think Battle Royale does St. Trinians.

Scary, I don't want to meet her in a dark corridor :/

Maria Zannini said...

This made me laugh out loud, but only because I sometimes felt like this in high school. At least when the teacher loaded us up with homework. LOL
