Book Cover: 5 Blanks

5 Blanks Cover 

I am now published! Dreams really do come true!  

Here is the blurb:

Nick is a pacifist whose been killed for the fourth time. His soul was transferred into the wrong Blank. Not just any Blank, but Creed: a Combat- Ready- E-series- Elimination- Drone.

And he has to share it.

It’s supposed to be impossible. His life defines the word so that isn’t what bothers him. It's the irony that he’s to blame for making the E-series a reality. He always said it would be the death of him. He may be right.

He's homeless and being hunted by the people who killed him four times. They want to make him dead-dead before he can expose the truth. That’s if the original Creed doesn’t return from war and kill him first.

Nick has a lethal to-do list:

He needs to gain Creed’s co-operation so he can save the friends who risk their lives to hide them, find out how and why they are sharing the same Blank before the original Creed shows up, and uncover the truth about Leigh, a beautiful scary woman that claims she’s Creed’s fiancée and Nick’s friend, but whom neither man remembers.

Welcome to day one of Blank Five. 

 
Now, more about the cover.

It has been criticized as being too plain.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I understand that if I go for universal popularity, I will die very unhappy. 

Here is the reason I chose not to go with the graphic designer.  Though the soul of courtesy and professional behavior, the man I contacted was very pricey (let's just say four figures) and he had no experience with book covers, his forte was in word placement ala magazines. 

We chose to go with StravenLite (her professional name).  My husband and I designed the cover and she rendered an accurate version of our vision and worked closely with us on both front and back.  She also had no previous experience, but her price was right (three figures) and her attitude humble.  It worked for us.
