Another Stab at It

Some months ago I noted that one of my Kindle novels, Cashbox, wasn't selling. (The earlier hardcover and mass market published by Forge had done well.) The e-book had a text cover.

I discovered that Amazon permits authors to design their covers, so I decided to try it out. I knew from years as a book editor that covers are humbling. Many a commercial cover I thought would sell books proved to be a dud.

At any rate, I began designing covers for Cashbox, and none of them sold books. But I keep on trying. Cashbox is the story of a dying silver mining town on the frontier, and a remarkable woman who keeps on living there, a little like Baby Doe Tabor, the legendary real-life woman who hung on to a worthless mine.

Here's my latest effort. Tell me what you think of it.
