The voices of the people will not be silenced!

Here’s how it works:

On each of the next twelve days, I’ll post a ballot of one month’s worth of posted covers. You may pick UP TO THREE as the worst on each month for qualifying status. (Just to keep the number of options down, I’m limiting it to covers which received at least three comments from people other than me.)  All ballots will remain open until January 15th.

On January 16th, I’ll post Round Two, bringing those covers from each ballot together in one final ballot.

And on January 31st, I’ll post the ten worst covers posted in 2022!

BLURB: The Boy

Story of a boy who went to play his usual tennis ball cricket in a nearby field. Nothing was unusual that day. Until in the evening when the boy does not return and a friend tells her mom that the boy never went to play that day.

A frantic search begins with the neighbours and the boy’s friends pulling in all their resources. Does the boy return? Where did he go? Where was he taken? What happens at the end?

Told in the breathless style of a third-grader who needs to get to the point before he pees his pants.

Whatever you thought it was about, I bet it wasn’t this:

In Jason Brandon’s post-apocalyptic world, a deadly plague and its aftermath have killed most of humanity. Few survivors are left to inherit the Earth, but Jack and his family are among them…
