I am primarily an eBook author (for now, anyway). Sometime simple comes across better when the image is small, like in an eBook ad. Simple is appealing in another regard: because size does matter.

It is very, very simple-and simple is difficult for me. I mean a feather is hardly original, especially when it comes to the kind of story I write, but there is still something about it that appeals to me. Not to say that mine are cutting-edge covers. But, I don't know.done and done, right? If I do it too, then I don't stand out. I'm supposed to have some smoking-hot guy on the cover-or a very beautiful girl in an elaborate ball gown walking though a field or conversely draped over a chair-or a kick-ass, tatted vixen in a leather outfit who is ready to smack the taste out of your mouth. I am aware of the genre for which I write. I know that my covers are not the norm anyway. I will own that all day and into the next I just don't want you to be able to point to my cover and say, 'Ahhhh, self-pub.' I pay for it to be done professionally, so it should look professional. It came to a point in the process that I was afraid that the cover was looking 'self-pub.' Don't get me wrong I am self-pub. I take full responsibility because I'm a writer and I should be able to describe in words what I want, but it just never came across to them based on what I've been getting for mock-ups. I couldn't seem to explain my vision for the cover to the designer. The cover is sort of a sore subject with me right now.Once I approve that one, the publisher will print the first copy of Indebted and send it to me in the mail for final approval. That means that within five business days I should get another PDF proof of the book. Here's the latest news: I submitted corrections to Indebted's PDF (interior format) today.
