Thank you to the cover designer of my book: Judy Bullard!
My book has made it into the world, and I want to thank various people who have helped me in a number of ways. A novel, like many other creative endeavors, is not simply the work of one person.
Judy Bullard, Custom Ebook Covers , is the woman who helped me, guided me, and ultimately designed the cover for my book. She is talented and was very patient with a new and uncertain author. I commend not only her work on the cover but also her kindness.
The cover of Maledicus: The Investigative Paranormal Society Book I is, in my opinion, a work of beauty, of terror, and of impact. I am as happy as I possibly can be with Judy’s efforts, and I recommend her highly! Please visit her site.

What is Young Adult and New Adult Fiction?
As I worked on the third draft of my second novel, I started to wonder about an issue of genre and classification. My novel is definitely post-apocalyptic and speculative, but is it Young Adult, New Adult, or something else?
How are these classifications defined? Is it the age of the protagonist? The hero of my second novel is a sixteen-year-old young woman, so does that make this work Young Adult? Are all novels with a young protagonist necessarily considered Young Adult? I am not in any way suggesting that this is somehow negative; rather, I am trying to understand where this book fits in the publishing scheme.
Additionally, what makes a New Adult novel? Would such a book be aimed at 18-25-year-olds?
Does theme and treatment of the theme also play into the consideration of the classification of a work?
If anyone can offer any suggestions, please, please, please, feel free to offer answers.
Thanks to any who help.
