Should I Change My Book Cover?
For months now I’ve been thinking of changing the cover of my novel, Extinction Of All Children. I’ve been debating back and forth…and reading many articles on the subject. I actually love my current cover.
Why would I want to change a cover that I love? Why would I want to change the cover when it was already perfect? The spooky…eerie looking town. The abandoned swing. How could it get any better? Lol
Over the years some readers have said they liked the cover but it didn’t scream fantasy novel…but instead it looked like it could be for a horror or thriller novel. I decided to change the cover so hopefully it would look more fantasy.
I love the old cover but now I also love the new cover. I hope readers like it too. Will my sales improve from this change? I have no idea…so I guess I’ll find out. Have any of you wondered if you should change or update your cover? My new cover is out now so let me know what you think.

Oh I preferred your original cover, and I think it fits in better with the covers for the other two books (which are just locations rather than people). I thought it went well with the story too, but that's just my little opinion.

Hi Vix, Thanks so much for your feedback. I always like to hear what readers think. I've been getting mixed reviews. Some like the old cover better and some like the new cover. Your opinion matters. I like hearing what you have to say. Thanks again for replying to my blog, I appreciate it.
