I design my own covers, and sometimes I go through quite a few designs before I hit on the final one. I went through many, many different designs for My Wife Changed Me Into Her Lover's Penis: The Ultimate Cuckold Fantasy, and I thought it'd be fun to post a few of them over the coming days and explain what I liked about them and why they didn't end up making the cut.



I thought this one had an unusual, eye-catching design and was pretty sexy... but this is a cuckolding and transformation kink book and this rejected cover is so beefcake-y that it would probably appeal more to a gay audience.

A lot of my rejected designs for this one had a sexy male body front and center, before I realized that even if the book is about a guy who is turned into a penis, the real thrill of it is the idea of him being so utterly humiliated by his wife. So the cover I chose featured a sexy man and woman in a passionate clinch, and I think that was the way to go.

The final design is probably my most mainstream cover design ever. I tend to like covers where the illustration is the main focus, but looking around at the biggest erotica titles I've noticed that they tend to focus mostly on the title (almost always with a sans serif font) and the illustration is the secondary focus. So I tried that here, and I think it looks fine and it does make my book blend in more with the other erotica titles out there. But I'm not sure if blending in is what I really want to do...

Here's another cover I designed and then rejected for My Wife Changed Me Into Her Lover's Penis: The Ultimate Cuckold Fantasy. This one was also sexy but just a little too penis-y. I have to remind myself sometimes that not everybody is (proudly!) bisexual like me, and for a lot of straight guys a great big bulging wang on the cover of a book is an automatic NO.

But still... it's such a very pretty bulging wang, isn't it?

Just for kicks, I made an animated version of the cover of my eBook, Changed into a Bride! Nathan's transformation into a gorgeous blonde bride in a big frilly princess dress is a much more lengthy and elaborate affair in the book, but a quick "POOF!" transformation like this is fun sometimes too.

Nathan is a con man who swindles women and leaves them at the altar... but now he's about to find out what it's like to be a trembling, virgin bride.

This darkly erotic story features a magical transgender transformation so vivid you can almost feel it happening to you. You'll know Nathan's terror, as his masculinity is stripped away and he is transformed into a flawless, curvy blonde in a fairytale wedding dress. And you'll experience his guilty, blushing pleasure, as this arrogant male becomes a helpless girl in white lace and petticoats, and finds himself at the mercy of his cruel and beautiful girlfriend.

For Nathan, the only thing worse than suddenly being a pretty, helpless little bride... is how much he enjoys it.
