New covers

Now that I've been hanging around the indie authors' sites, I've seen a wide variety of books in many different genres. I'm impressed in general with the quality of books people turn out on their own without a whole lot of professional management.

When I turn back to my own books, however, I'm dismayed and disappointed. I now look at some of those books and wonder what I was thinking when I put them up there. I'm talking in terms of covers here, but also in terms of content and in some cases formatting. The whole thing needs an overhaul.

I have about twenty nine books, but I will probably take at least five off the market. I haven't decided whether to take both kindle and paperback off for those. Of the remaining ones, lots need new covers, either on paperback or kindle or both. It's a slightly daunting task so I've been putting it off.

But I'm up against a wall - about to move, I know that if I don't do it soon, I won't do it. I have a few new covers up there - Comin' 'Round to Lovin' It, paperback, and Five Second Rule, both paperback and kindle; also Pile of Leaves paperback. A new look, a new font. I'll drag them in here, and let you look at them on this blog. I am always looking for advice on my pop art, and you, my audience, can give it to me better than anyone else. Stay tuned!
