I noticed this on a friends blog (Love Reading X) and thought I’d have a go at ‘making’ my own virtual book.
What you have to do:
1. Go to ‘Fake Name Generator‘ The name that appears is your author name.
2. Go to ‘Random Word Generator‘ The word listed under ‘Random Verb’ is your title.
3. Go to ‘FlickrCC‘ Type your title into the search box. The first photo that contains a person is your cover.
4. Use Picnik or something similar to put it all together. Be sure to crop and/or zoom in.
5. Write a short synopsis to go along with it.
Here is my ‘book’
(Pictures with help from snazzy computer dad)
Run by Keira B. Barlette
Avalible in Paperback or Hardback…lol


The gunshot rang through my ears. I stood there, a bead of sweat trickled down my forehead. I fell against the wall behind me, too shocked to move. I watched as the limp body fell to the ground. A lump formed in my throat, making it even harder to breath. My brain felt like it was scattered into a millions pieces. What should I do? Where should I go? I pulled in a gasp of air. I knew one thing. That this was it. I was the only one left and they knew where I was hiding. All I could do was what I do best, what I was known for, the way I escaped out of everything and anything that life threw at me…
Run.
What do you think? Would you pick this up and want to read it in real life? Tell me in comments.

Thanks, it took me ages and when I had finsihed it snazzy computer dad told me to pull this lever, turn that switch and press that button…after what felt like forever we came up with them. Ha ha.
I loved yours, Swirl! I saw your blog and decided to do mine. I was looking for Love Reading X ‘s post and actually scrolled past it thinking it was a real book! So they are very effective

Hi
I’ve tried it and it’s awesome! But I can’t get it into book form. It’s just a normal picture. How do you do it?
I’d definitley buy your book.

My snazzy computer dad did it and you need certain program to do it. I also don’t have a clue how he did it either so I’m not much help, Sorry.
Aww, Thank you
