I’m a traditionally published author who writes crime and thriller novels under the pen name Karin Nordin. My first novel, WHERE RAVENS ROOST, was published in 2021 by HQ Stories (HarperCollins UK). It was shortlisted for the 2022 CWA John Creasey (New Blood) Dagger award. My second novel, LAST ONE ALIVE, was a 2022 ITW Best eBook award nominee. SWEET LITTLE LIES and THE MAN IN ROOM SEVEN are my first psychological suspense thrillers.

Can a Traditionally Published Author Pick Their Book Cover?
How much say does a traditionally published author have when it comes to their book cover?
I’ve published four different books with five different book covers since I’ve been at my HarperCollins imprint. Here’s my experience when it comes to working with an editor to create the best cover for my books and how that process has gone!
Your experience will definitely depend on the type of imprint you’re at, the type of book you’ve written, and how much your publisher has invested in your book.

So gorgeous!!! Congratulations!
Thank you!! ☺️
My publisher is really great about asking for my input on the cover and implementing changes I suggest
I’m so glad to hear that! It’s great when you have that kind of creative trust with your publisher!
Love how excited you are in this video! Congrats Karin! Looking forward to reading it! 😊📚🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy it! ☺️❤️📚
Excellent interview Karin! Great to have some Trek chat in there! 😊🖖🏾
If there’s any chance to toss in some Star Trek I’ll take it! 🤣🖖🏼
I can’t wait!
This looks so good
Thank you! I really hope people like it! ☺️
This is so fun!
Should you be dancing with a phaser (Just a joke you did great)
Off for another adventure
Awesome 👍 continue the awesome work 👍
This was so good
Thank you so much for participating! Loved your comments! 🤩🖖🏼
@@penandtrill can't wait for part two. And I do believe you will love the rest of Babylon 5
I’m looking forward to watching more of it!
Great 👍
I am so happy you are doing better. 👍👍🖖🖖
Thank you! ☺️
I am so glad you are getting better from the concussion, and I can't wait for your new book 💛💛💛
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to share more about it! 😀🐄
I'm so glad to hear that you're (ultimately) okay. I hope all of the side effects from your accident go away eventually.
Thank you so much! The doctor said the side effects should eventually dissipate but that it could take up to a year before I feel back to how I was before the accident. 😱 In the meantime I guess I’ll just snuggle with my cats. 🐈🐈
Big life update!
And this was the edited version of the life update! 🤪
Joseph became a magician and disappeared for this first episode 😂 I’m not even through the introductions yet and this is already a vibe that I can vibe with 💙
It's officially "Magical Difficulties" now instead of "Technical Difficulties" Hahaha
I love this so much 💛💛💛
Thank you so much! ☺️ Stay tuned for some crazy episode topics! 🤓
@@penandtrillI will say Babylon 5 was supposed to be rebooted soon don't know what state it's in now
Ooooooh. This is good to know! I’ll keep an eye out!
Voyager puns. Nice 👏👏
7 of 9 star trek vouager season 3 and up?
sweet looks awesome 👍
Yes, my process has changed too
Mine adjusts slightly with each book. Hopefully one day I’ll find that perfect process.
Love this so much. Super practical advice.
Thanks! ☺️
LOL this is great poor Sony verse they just cant get spiderverse going
Sometimes I wonder if they even want to get it going 😅
@@penandtrill it’s a write off haha
Love the advice, thanks , im rlly interested in making a story, comic, book or also film so i love this advice
Hope it helps!
More videos like this, please!
Haha! Okay! 😜
It’s sad but I honestly hate media from post mid 2010s.
The parted in the middle hair curtains is the worst. Looks like he’s hosting the Hunger Games. Pike is what we need right now- a manly man of action, with magnificent hair.
Lol awesome. I perfer star trek over star wars.... But welcome to the authortube world. I write fantasy and create videos here on youtube. Subscribed.
THAT IS SO COOL!!
Bro your a Star Wars character and that’s Star Trek music🤦🏻
Always very nice ❤😊
Go Capt. Go!!😂
Very nice 😊
Classy😊
What a great idea for a Star Trek video. Let's see the best-dressed!
Really good list. I was trying to forget the Kelvin timeline, but Strange New Worlds makes *all* the previous versions of Pike much more significant. Good to see that you included both The Cage and The Menagerie versions of Pike. As for the beard in the first episode of SNW, you have to remember that the character was going through an existential crisis, and also that the actor (ironically) isn't big on grooming himself. He gets in the makeup chair and lets the professionals do his hair. But for the opening scenes of the first episode, I can see him coming onto the set and them saying, "no hair job, we'll shoot it just as it is now!"
Made me laugh, so it was good. 😄
I love it 😂
Be careful red shirt 😂

Why don't you beam me up, buttercup, don't break my heart. 😂😂😂

So it's more you singing ABBA whilst dressed in various star trek uniforms than a musical really?
