New Year, New Book Cover

I haven’t done much to promote my novel. Personalities who are writers seem to be the opposite of those who are salespeople. However, I decided to take the advice of one of the Writer’s Digest critics of my book and changed the cover. He said the original cover implied a heavy handed religious book–which my book is not. He suggested I put elements of the story and an enticing character on the cover, instead. So that’s what I did. Maybe my New Year’s resolution will be to write more and promote (ugh) my book more. I’m one of those people who, if someone says they aren’t interested, I say okay–no problem. I have no powers of persuasion in me.

But, when I look at the statistics of this website, people are visiting frequently. I feel a push, even an obligation, to write more. I have so many projects in my head, I don’t know where to start. So, I usually don’t. My new year’s resolution is to start writing again. I am hoping that 2026 will be a year of good changes.

Here is my new cover:

This was my old cover:
