it will need a snappy title, a cool cover image and possibly a nom de plume

here's how to achieve it

CREATE YOUR DEBUT COVER


1 " Go to “Fake Name Generator” or click
http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/
The name that appears is your author name.


2 " Go to “Random Word Generator” or click
http://www.websitestyle.com/parser/randomword.shtml
The word listed under “Random Verb” is your title.


3 " Go to “FlickrCC” or click
http://flickrcc.bluemountains.net/index.php
Type your title into the search box. The first photo that contains a person is your cover.


4 " Use Photoshop,
Picnik, or similar to put it all together. Be sure to crop and/or zoom in.

5 " Post it to your site along with this text.

here's mine

@djjd62,
(I had to crop the photo -- it was landscape, not portrait):

@Eva,
Wow, that's a perfect combo of picture and title (I like the font too, especially that "R" in the middle...)

Ooh! Look what combo I came up with when I plugged in "Italian" instead of US!
