My daughter, who creates artwork and scenarios for a gaming company as Lis Winter, has created three possible covers for my novel.
It would be helpful to me to get any opinions as to which one appeals to you the most: 1, 2 or 3. Sorry, I know they are large, but if they were smaller, you might miss details.
Number 1:
Number 2:
Number 3:
Thanks,

A Preview button is a great idea. Just like getting ready to post this answer, there is a Preview button.

Happy to have helped. I've been using Word since it first came out for Windows 3.1. Oddly enough, searches of that type do NOT work with Open office Writer. I have no idea why they didn't carry that functionality over.
EDIT: Sure, just reverse the search terms: ^p[space]. There is no rule that says you have to have text in front of the "^p". You can even use combinations like ^p^p.
EDIT EDIT: For more elaborate search missions, you can use a free program called "FileSeek". It lets you search an entire folder filled with Word documents and locate the search terms in ALL of them at once. You cannot change anything, but it will help you locate the items you need to find. It keeps you from opening files you don't need to open.

I assume you use Find and Replace (Ctrl-H) to locate all those little bugs. You can search for .[space]^p and locate a single space behind a period and before a hard Return.
To do that, for the Find What box, click the "More" button at the bottom. When it opens up, click the "Special" button. You will find all sorts of special characters, para marks, and doo-dads to search for. You can add these at any point in actual text for the box.
You can do the same for the Replace With box.
It makes finding and editing much, much easier. Once you get to know the special characters, you don't need the extra mouse movements as you can remember most of them. ^p is just one of them (An end-of-sentence Enter key).
~Tom
You don't say in your post, so I'll just add that you can insert a Page Break anywhere you want it using Ctrl-Enter. Your new text entry point will jump to a fresh page.
I do agree that having page breaks visible is a good idea so you can remove them if you need to.

Wonderful, Karen. I'll be looking forward to it.

But the phrase "freely available" isn't true of what you workshop here on tNBW. We PAY for this site, thus anything posted isn't "freely" available at all.
~Tom
I thought it might be something like that. It happens occasionally.
~Tom
Dill, I just received two notifications of your posts and, even though I am logged in, I kept getting "You are not authorized to access this page". However, I can go to my home page and View New Posts and get here just fine. I wonder if the email system is broken or something.
Sol, are you watching?
~Tom
LOL. Whoops, my bad. **adjusts trifocals**
~Tom
I thought the instructions said "Write the closing SENTENCE of a story inspired by this image." Was I wrong? Although I enjoyed the entires, I think that a sentence should just be a sentence. 
~Tom
"Well," Dorothy sighed to herself. "At least Tinman and Lion got their wish."
~Tom
How about "knelt" and "kneeled"?
~Tom
Dang type. That should have been "97 OF 104". Basically, It's written. I'm just polishing it up a bit.
I have GOT to get this wrist fixed. Typing with one hand is not natural.
~Tom
I have written my autobiography which is now under editing and review before I port it. I'm on chapter 97 or 104 at the moment.
~Tom
I checked out Wild Rose Press also, Karin. There doesn't appear to be any men working for/associated with them but I would feel comfortable submitting a novel. They do indeed have a good reputation in the industry.
~Tom
I agree with Don, Karin. If you manoeuvre around the "George Carlin" words, it might work for them. Getting it out of Scarlet Rose would be a good thing, I think.
I wonder what they would think of my wedding night chapter in YOLT.

Oh, I'm well aware of the difference between HTTP and HTTPS. A lot of people don't realize that even something as big as Facebook has both a HTTP and an HTTPS connection available. Depending on what URL you use to access the site (this and most others), you get either a non-secure or a crypto-covered connection.
Sol's answer is probably the right one. It takes a while for a given URL to be propagated throughout the DNS servers. Until it is fully disseminated, you get security glitches if your browser is looking for a HTTPS and all it can find is HTTP.
~Tom
Not getting anything like that, Sol. I use Firefox on all my OS. But I have my username/PW saved in the FF vault so it automatically fills the login fields.
~Tom
Has this project moved along any further, Darla? Just wondering.
~Tom
I've tried to contact Karen several times, but haven't had any luck. She has a great story going here and I'd love to be able to see it finished. I have supplied a few modest drawings of what the interior of the Aurora might look like, but that's as far as I have gone.
Has anyone else had any luck contacting her?
~Tom
Check you computer time. Sometimes, when it cannot get the correct time from the Internet, it will make security certificates seem to be expired. Just a shot in the dark, though.
~Tom
I'll have my check, and an address, in the mail Monday, Janet.
~Tom
Treat it like a government project, Max. You know, get nine women pregnant and have a baby in a month.
~Tom
Snicker.
