Cover tweaking and branding....

Thanks to the talented [livejournal.com profile] lrcutter we have done a "final for a while" cover branding and tweaking to the Nuala covers. Here are the results. Can you see the differences? Hope you like them.

Next--figuring out the right cover art for the Alfreda ebooks and POD (or POD if I can master the technique.)

I can see it, and I like it. Less pink! Stronger lettering! Rah! to Leah and you!

Glad you like them. We tried vivid, but I saw no difference in sales. So one more time with these. They're such great SF covers, I would hate to jettison them.

Did you notice that she swapped the side the sun is setting on?

I hope this means that a right side sunset is leading into the future and sales! ;^)

At this point I think you've done all you can with covers. What's going to count is getting new work out there to draw readers into your oeuvre.

A new Nuala book would doubtless spur sales of these three.

BTW, how do you pronounce it -- Noola (as in the Irish name) or Noo-ah-la?
