Hi!
First and foremost, thank you so much for your amazing feedback! It was super helpful, and your comments really helped me understand your point of view. I've shared the main ideas with my cover designer, and she'll be merging the best of both worlds, so you might have to help me once again by giving your opinion or voting on the final version of the cover. ^_^
Also, I didn't know that in some cultures, having our back to someone on a cover might be rude. Live and learn. Yet, in Sword and Sorcery, it is common to have the hero facing the fantasy world in a challenging pose. Because these books are geared toward the American and British markets, choosing that type of pose seems a wiser decision. But I agree that a sword in her hand, even if she's facing the world, will add an adventurous feeling to it.
As you might be aware, romance writers aren't considered "writers." Many actually scoff when someone says they write romance. The same goes when a woman says they write Sword and Sorcery books because it's still a man's world. Female writers who write adventure fantasy always end up in the Fantasy Romance category. But this story, in particular, is more geared toward action and science fiction than romance. Romance is actually a subplot because love exists in every world. Plus, have you noticed that if a guy writes an action story where the main hero "falls" in love, he's still not writing romance but action? Yeah. We still have a long way to stop the bias toward female writers.
Anyway, I digress. I'm sure you're curious about the stats on last week's inquiry so I'm sharing a screenshot. Once I have the new cover options, I'll do a new questionnaire so you can help me out! <3
Meanwhile, the cover that won will be showing on Amazon until I can upload the final cover that we'll be deciding on together. ^_^
On a final note, it's a new year, so I have new covers to show for my Drakella project. I thought it needed a revamp, so I commissioned new covers that better portray the genre and the badassness of my vampire hunter and witch heroine.
Another good news is that these books WILL BE WIDE! :) More about this next week!
I guess this is all for today.
Until next week with more great news!
Hugs,
Therese
