ICE SHOCK - the cover and new blurb!
Well here is is - although if you ever check out themgharris.com you’ve already seen it.
I’m pretty darn impressed. To move from black to red for the J symbol is so simple but it hadn’t occurred to me…and the new lettering for the title ICE SHOCK is kewl. With the neon yellow slipcover too - I think this is going to look fantastic. I can’t wait to catch my first glimpse of the completed package.
In keeping with the red-and-yellow colour theme, I have ordered my new BlackBerry Pearl in red. And when I upgrade to the new iPod nano, I think it will be yellow. I have a red one now - it was one of the original nanos, but a special edition when everyone did red gadgets to support charity. I have a red laptop too. 
Glory glory Man United…
Ooh..Jessica my desk editor and I rewote the blurb together. Here’s what will be replacing the one on the cover shown here:
Josh thought the worst was over – but it hasn’t even started…
Josh is even more certain now that his father’s death was no accident – and he’s starting to wonder if he can really trust his closest allies. When he learns of a secret buried within the Ix Codex, he must journey back to the secret Mexican city of Ek Naab. Shocking news awaits him about the mysterious Bracelet of Itzamna. Did Josh’s dad really take it? And where is it now?
Josh has no idea what’s waiting for him…

Yellow would be my first choice, then green 
The cover, to put it simply, looks awesome! I love the ICE SHOCK text. I seriously cannot wait to get my hands on this!

I guess there is no question, I will be getting a nom-de-plume just as soon as that publishing contract comes in.
You are an inspiration - I like the stuff and think I’ll read the book and recommend it to my 9 year old daughter!

Frank - me too! Although they’ll have to come up with something else for book 3, cos he does get one or two gadgets there…
Ted - good to see you here! You finish that short story yet? Delighted to hear they have the book in Malaysia - an import, I guess.
Lukas - buy the iPod chromatic yellow from Applestore and you can get it engraved like with THE JOSHUA FILES: ICE SHOCK (my husband is getting one like that for me
)
Michael - hello there! Sorry about the name…but I guess another Michael G Harris has beaten us both to mgharris.com Good luck with the writing!
