A social experiment...

Good afternoon!

So about a month ago I released a new novel, A Hero's Spark.  And I put together a cover which I really liked.

Here's the thing:  sales haven't been exactly where I think they should be.  So I'm wondering...is it the cover?  

I know we're not supposed to judge a book by it's cover, but face it, we do.  So I thought, in putting together the cover, I conveyed the ideas in the book:  Good looking guy with grey eyes...(and to get a model with grey eyes? Are you kidding?)  Musician, ambulance, hot kiss.  Yep, got everything covered.

I'm thinking now that the book's cover is too...busy.  There's too much going on.  After reading some of my reviews, I'm finding out that people DO judge a book by its cover and boy, they are unforgiving.  

So today I sat down after paging through wads of romance novel covers and I created a NEW cover for the Kindle version of the book.

I'm leaving the print cover the same for now, for a couple reasons:  1)  I really do love the original cover and 2)  Sales of print copies and Kindle copies are the same right now.  I'm trying to see if people respond better to the Kindle copy.  Admittedly, Kindle will sell more than print because it's less expensive and because it's instant gratification.

So, stay tuned my friends.  Let's see how this works out!  (It'll be up on Amazon in about 12 hours.)
