Title: When in doubt, change the cover
Post by: OfficialEthanJ on July 03, 2019, 01:48:56 AM

I decided this was a fairly low-risk move, as Crossed Out is not doing so hot. Feedback has been positive about the innards (the story and characters) but the cover was, to be fair, my first effort. I finally found a suitable replacement image. Here's hoping this gives the Ana Lode series new life (and frankly, a reprieve).

Posted before & after.

This is NOT a cover critique thread. I figure the sales/KENP numbers will do that. I will report back later with results.

First impression. Far and Away better.

Not a critique, but I also prefer the second one :) Hope your sales reflect something similar! Best of luck  :cheers

Prefer the second one, the first seems dull almost washed out in comparison.
At first I wondered why you didn't make the title larger then decided that the muzzle of the pistol didn't leave any space for it.
