Hi all!
So I have a spot of news regarding Book One. My publisher and I had a long chat a couple months back (and by chat, I mean we got together for burgers and beers/wine) to discuss the direction of the series.
After nearly a year in the wild, Book One still has regular sales on Amazon, and we are hoping to see similar success with Book Two. However, during this debate, the cover of Book One came up.
There are people out there who aren't thrilled with it. Frankly, after almost a year, neither am I. I was very caught up in the excitement of a book release, and so stoked to see my name on the cover that I felt like I compromised too much in what I wanted out of it. And when my publisher asked about Book Two, I told him that I wanted to see something different for the artistic design, because I wanted something that felt more alive.
Naturally, it doesn't make sense to have book covers that are completely different from each other, so the decision was made to have the cover of Book One redone by a different artist, and then use that same person to do Book Two, Book Three, and so on.
I hope to do a slight relaunch of Book One shortly before the launch of Book Two. After nearly a month of going back and forth with the designer and the Design tier's advice, the final cover is nearly ready.
Henceforth, the old cover will be referred to as the Classic Cover, in case I need to mention it. I hope everybody has a great weekend, and take care of yourselves! You've earned it!
