I love the covers I've done so far, but having read your post, I think I should have less of the "woman's photo" and more of the background. Ah well, as you keep saying, it's a learning curve!

If I love the author and hate the cover, I'd still buy the book. Which reminds me of that point that no matter how great your cover is, content really is king.<br /><br />I also really loved the first cover for Blood Ransom as well, but what has shocked me is how a new cover--more genre specific--changed my sales. It might simply mean as well that suspense sales are stronger in the market than as you put it, someone looking to read something like "Out of Africa." Very interesting. This Indie route is definitely an adventure of it's own. Huge learning curve, and yet I'm so glad I'm learning what I am.

But for an author who's work I enjoy the cover will have little impact expect an appreciation for the artwork itself. <br /><br />I bought Blood Ransom in its latest form but funnily I really like the African cover more. But you're right because that one makes you think you're going to read something like "Out of Africa" or similar not a suspense story which the 2nd cover does.<br /><br />And I'm very excited for your new one with Lynne. Sound like a lot of fun. <br /><br />And when I go down the Indie route (we all will at some stage) I'll seek you out for counsel.<br /><br />Bless,Ian Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192687613923596829noreply@blogger.com
