Now doing a test of a new cover
-
I was excited when I released my last novel. It hit the Kindle shelves with a total thunk. Almost zero sales. I made the book free for a short time, but no good.
Then I posted the cover on my FB cover critique group. They unanimously pointed out that it not only didn't fit the genre at all, it also made a terrible thumbnail on Kindle. It actually looked like a blob of mud in thumbnail size.
Based on the feedback, I had my cover artist make a different front. Then I used Xpotiondesigns to rework the typography. I received the finished cover yesterday and released it right away.
It will be an interesting test to see if this change makes a difference in sales. I'll keep you informed.
To kick the release off, I once again made the book free. That goes for everyone on this site as well, so grab a copy if you feel the urge. (Link below.)
Namaste,
Eric
First cover above - ugh!
New cover. Yay!!
Free on Kindle from April 14 for 5 days - CAN A DRUG ADDICT STOP AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FROM DESTROYING THE WORLD? Thought I'd give my readers a gift and hopefully get a review or two. I'm now writing the sequel.
