I do. Call me shallow, but I mean it for books. Nothing else.
I spent more time agonising over my book cover than I did writing the thing itself. Being too eager, I bought a cover before writing the story.
This was the cover
I liked the clean lines and simplicity of the design. And I loved the contrast of the red icing dripping down like blood. So, to fit the cover, I wrote a tale about doughnuts/donuts and murder.
But my writing didn’t suit the elegance of the design. To be frank, my story’s a bit giddy! And, roller skates - where did they come from? They seemed to play a bigger part than the food.
I had to commission another.
This seems to convey the story much better. I hope you think I made the right choice? It’s on with a cover for the next book now, The Murder Above Merangs.
Thanks for your time and happy reading xxx
