"Bought" it
You need a better cover though. People actually do judge books by their covers.

Working on it. I love the cover of books 2 and 3. This is the second cover for book 1.
I am in preliminary talks with a publisher. I submitted all three books and outlines for the last three to them per their instructions. They should be getting back to me soon. They design the covers of the books they publish and they are more skilled than I am. Maybe I should have an Arfcom Photoshop Contest for a cover. Those are always hilarious.

What is the difference between the normal and YA version of the first book? (Young Adult) Today? 99 cents! In reality, I toned down the brutality, the sexual stuff, the necrophilia, and the cannibalism. I also cleaned up the language. I had alot of young people wanting to read my work, but I didn't dare because its pretty mature. Originally, I wanted it to be YA but my man character would not cooperate. I promised her I would finish the series if she toned it down a little bit. She wants her story told. |

I hate it when people try to make you happy and say stuff like 'Oh, its great!' when its a turd. So, go read them now. Be honest here, but on amazon.com for reviews... lie your asses off if you have to! |

Don't just buy them to buy them. If I had a job I probably wouldn't even charge for these.
To be honest, its the best feeling in the world for me to give my stuff away for free. This morning my wife was like "How many have you sold?" I just replied "I don't know, but I had 182 free copies downloaded so far!" When you offer your book for free, and people enjoy it without a financial investment, that's true enjoyment. |

What do you all think of the other covers? Butterflies is the best of the bunch, but they are all pretty bad. It's mostly the typography. But I'm in the graphics field, so my nose is turned up at high angle to begin with.

Speaking for myself, I'll read them and give you some feedback, but as far as buying them, it's a small investment considering your time. I have a prime membership so I could "borrow them" for free, but that's not very Libertarian of me, now is it?
The way I see it, I'd much rather spend a few bucks on this, the rewarding of effort than giving that guy 65k for making potato salad on kickstarter....just saying. P.S. Have to read Castigo Cay first....owe that one

My Graphic Design skills leave much to be desired. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt We can't all be awesome at everything. And the fact that you did it in the first place is pretty much awesome and deserves no criticism. But you asked ;) As far as helping, I'm happy to offer suggestions. PM me any time. |
