Isn’t it amazing how life moves along at the pace of a sluggish backwater swamp and then all of the sudden races along at the speed of a white water rapid? Right now, it feels like I’m caught in the midst of the rapids and it is a wild and thrilling ride!
The time has come to settle upon a final cover for my novella Out of Darkness Rising! Scott Appleton, the proprietor of Flaming Pen Press asked me to post two cover options here on my blog and gather reader votes on which is the preferred cover!
So, I’m asking all of you to glance over the two covers and vote on which cover you like the most. Which one would be most likely to stop and pick up if you saw it on the bookshelf? What catches your eye? I will put a poll in the right side bar of my blog, but feel free to leave a comment as well with your opinion! And please, get the word out. If you have any friends who enjoy reading, ask them to stop by and let me know what they think about the cover!
Your feedback is greatly appreciated! My goal this week: Finish re-editing Out of Darkness Rising (in between college classes of course) and continue work on editing Song of Leira!
OPTION A
OPTION B
Brynalyn says
The second!
The Director says
My mother and I both say Option A :] Looks amazing, by the way! Who designed it?
Kastian says
I like the second one better, but it seems to cover up the artist's signature
Overload on School says
I like option A because of the font for your name.
Mary Ruth Pursselley says
I prefer Option B, with your name in the foreground straight across the foreground. Option A was good too, but in my opinion having your name almost as part of the picture slanting at an angle like that just gave it somewhat of a comic book or 50s movie cover feel.

Nate Taylor and I both vote for option A. Also, we're both way excited to see this cover in the bookstores…. and then of course reading it.

Option B :)

Option B. Your name on Option A, when I first saw it a while ago, always struck me as strange-looking with the title of the novel. The second one also has a cooler font. :D Book titles usually have straight font on the author's name, so Option B strikes me as more professional. It also lets us see more of the artwork.
The Adams Family says
Both covers are great – but prefer the second option with name across the bottom – just reads better. Can't wait to hold final copy!
