I’ve completed over 50,000 words on my revisions and rewrites and printing off pages to go to edits. I still have a few chapters left to finish but I’m getting close to the end. I’m looking at ideas for my new cover and I’m hoping you all might give me some input.
Which cover do you like best?
A. Firefighter walking away from red fire truck with sparks flying all around. Bottom is steel plate with dark red writing.
B. A fire truck in silhouette, fire blazing, firefighters working, a tree in upper corner.
Bottom, steel plate with bright red writing.
C. Firefighter with hose fighting a forest fire. Bottom red with gray writing.
Vote for your favorite and I’ll put you in a drawing to win a free copy of Red Steel.
To vote, just reply on any of my social media sites and tell me A, B or C. I will Direct Message you if your name is drawn. Thanks for your help.

Hi Sherry, congrats on your newest. I like ‘B’. The photo is intense however the plate at the bottom doesn’t continue the mood set by the photo and brings this reader out of the photo’s intent. Perhaps rather than separating the title on a plate, use graphics to bring it into the photo? I have the name of a great graphics artist if you’d like to contact him.
A is the best, shows intensity
I really like the second cover image. I would consider red lettering for the title, but black bold for the subtitle and author name.
Hi Sherri, Congrats on almost getting to the end of another great book. I’m still working on that kids book, can’t imagine writing so many words as in a novel. I did try for Nano but didn’t get past 7,000.
Personally, I like the 2nd picture with the black smoke. I would make the image a bit longer on the cover and I would put the books name in red lettering in the black smoke. Make the steel plate shorter and add the rest of the info. Again, Congrats.
