That is, the pictures are cut off right above the nose.<br />Debra St. Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154130275058459169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-38519950389755477522014-06-17T14:12:32.112-07:002014-06-17T14:12:32.112-07:00Interesting choices.

I am totally hoping that readers don't always buy based on the cover, because my release in August has one of my least favorite covers of all my stories. I'm going to definitely need to find other ways of marketing and not always rely on the cover for sales. Although who knows, maybe other people will really like the cover. It's all about personal preference. Unfortunately, though, my cover doesn't fall into any of those categories above.Debra St. Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154130275058459169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-17812459028199570222014-06-16T14:39:51.470-07:002014-06-16T14:39:51.470-07:00Very interesting.

Sometimes I just like to admire. lol But I've been told by more than a few that what made them look at the cover of my last release was that the guy on the cover actually had clothes on. lol I'm with Jennifer, though. If the cover looks amateurish, I don't even bother to read the blurb.

I'm not very attracted by chick-lit covers either.Paula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-50190049556393800042014-06-16T07:50:02.617-07:002014-06-16T07:50:02.617-07:00Interesting.

While I don't always judge by the cover, if the cover looks amateurish, I definitely won't buy it.JENNIFER WILCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218241106543538422noreply@blogger.com
