New covers for my book, Songs of a Befuddled Muse

Based on reviews, people love my book but the old cover--as beautiful as it was--confused potential buyers. This one represents my beautiful, weird book much better!

Book cover for "Songs of a Befuddled Muse: 13 Tales of Divergent Inspiration" by William Cohen-Kiraly. The cover features a beautiful, painted muse with blue cloth flowing around her. Her blue and red hair flames into the space-like background. In front of her is an open book with pages seeming to flip as a stream of a music bar streaming out. On this stream are four images representing some of the stories in the book including a sad clown, a woman and a dolphin in a symbolic dance, an ancient hourglass with an executioner's axe behind it, and a portrait of death checking messages on a phone.

This is well worth the resd, even for the non-religious.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

The regime’s attacks on dissent are escalating. Trump’s goal is to silence opposition through fear, but the American people will never submit to his corrupt rule. The best way to protect our rights is by continuing to exercise them.

Houston, Texas ICE GOONS hospitalized a 16-year-old U.S. citizen on his way to school. The teen, a star football and soccer player, was violently detained alongside his father. Despite his cries for help, “I’m underage!” the agents tackled him, resulting in severe neck and back injuries.

ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children.
This is so heartbreaking 💔

I think it’s funny that Trump doesn’t like this cover because he feels it’s unflattering, he didn’t even notice that it’s basically a fan art of Triumph of the Will…
A side by side comparison of the Trump Time Magazine cover “His Triumph” and the nazi film poster for “Triumph of the Will” Both are shot from way below of the man looking up. Both include the word “triumph.” Both make the man look as horrible and unhinged on the outside as he is on the inside.

absolutely shameful that the university has embraced the administration’s demand that it discriminate against its students. this is the board of visitors telling UVA students that if they aren’t white and cisgendered then they don’t belong.

The University of Virginia has capitulated to Trump on transgender and race (affirmative action) issues.

The details are currently sparse, but reporting suggests they've agreed to define trans people out of existence and ban trans students from facilities.
