- Here’s the art for the jacket cover!
After months of waiting and watching, it’s here! The jacket art for BIG IN JAPAN. I’m loving it. The minimalist design, the top-to-bottom, right-to-left of the kanji in the background, the silhouette of the sumo wrestler crouching, waiting to begin his fight. The red. The white. It’s so symbolic!
The design team at my publisher Jolly Fish Press just rocks the house. They’re awesomeness On toast.
What do you think? Leave a comment! (Please?)
I can’t wait for next month (the 28th) for the book launch where I finally get to hold copies of the book in my hot little hands.
Yippee skippy!
So…in case I haven’t mentioned it enough, here’s the gist of BIG IN JAPAN: An obese nobody guy from Texas goes to Japan, where he accidentally becomes the first blond sumo wrestler.
How does the cover work for that? I think it’s FABULOUS. Again, many thanks to JFP!
Love! They did an awesome job. Can’t wait to read it. 🙂 Congrats.
Thanks, Kaylee! When’s your next book coming out?
Looks great! I can not wait to get my copy of your new book!!
Thank you so much, Heidi! If you’re in Preston on July 27 for the rodeo, come and see me! I’ll be at a pre-launch booksigning there in the afternoon. Come on down!
This is so great Jen! Congratulations. I can’t wait to read it.
Thanks, Cindy! I was thinking about you yesterday. Hope your summer is fun! See you next Thurs! One week!
Love the cover! I agree with you! It makes me want to read it 🙂
Thank you, Adina! I know, right? I’d pick that book up in a book store for sure, if only to see what it was about. 🙂
Love it!!!
Thanks, Candi. I’m thinking it will stand out on the shelf. It kind of reminds me of your designs, actually, come to think of it. Sparing and stark and streamlined. 🙂
I love the cover and will be excited to read the book.
Thank you, Leesa! Nice to meet you! The book will be available at the end of July. I hope you like it. 🙂

Thanks! I’m thinking this makes you even more excited to see what JFP comes up with for your book!
Soooo cooolll! And, I might be the teeniest bit jealous today. Can’t wait to be where you are with my own book!
Congrats!!!!!!
Thanks! You’ll be getting that cover design before you know it, Aimee!
woohoo! SO stinkin excited! I think it looks great! Go Buck!
Thanks, Keri. I’m excited to see where your third draft is going!
LOVE!
Thanks, Valerie! 🙂
I was so afraid I would never see it…but it’s glorious beyond description! Can’t wait for the big day!
FINALLY, right? You were so great about being insistent that they reveal. You’re great. So…Gary says he can see a fish between his feet. That’s the symbol. Do you see it? A dolphin?
I looove this art work for the jacket! However, they must make the sumo dude bigger! C’Mon, It’s “Big in Japan” but the image needs to be larger!!!!! Blow that bad boy up a bit. Seriously, DO IT!
Great suggestion, Steph!
NICE. I mean, seriously awesome.
SOOO love this.
YAY!!!! and Congrats!!!!!
Thanks, Jolene. I really appreciate your approval because I know you’re a design person!
