Thinking About Cover Art

Covers can make or break a book. At least that is what I keep hearing. People apparently DO very much judge a book by its cover before they read it. Now to decide how these books should be judged. I am looking at space images, including space ships, space stations and a lot of abstract art. How to convey expectations and a hint of what the book is about. So much pressure!

I want to convey Science Fiction with these covers, but there are many different types of science fiction, all with their own signals and signs. I am not going for Dystopian, Cyberpunk or Thriller and there are no threatening Aliens in the books either so that rules out quite a bit of imagery.

So many options!

Perhaps Space Opera, Colonization and….. I don’t know yet.  SO much to think about and so much to discover!  Covers coming soon, hoping to release in 2017!
