Hello everybody, my next novel is in the final stages of development, and it’s time to pick a book cover. I had approximately 45 ideas made into sample book covers, and we’ve tweaked them and come up with a final 10. I’d like you to help me pick the final cover.
The title of the new novel is going to be Atheist’s Prayer. Without giving away too much, my protagonist is a private detective who gets hired to protect a college professor/book author who has just written the next great tome promoting atheism. The author has received a few death threats so my hero is hired as a bodyguard of sorts.
The purpose of a good book cover is to catch the reader’s eye. The images on the cover do not necessarily have to reflect the contents of the book, but several of the images contain churches that appear to be on fire because a church does burn down in the book. I’m going to number each image, and I’m hoping you’ll vote for your favorite by my naming convention in the comments, either here or on Facebook. Please vote for your favorite cover!
Cover #1 – Dark and Light
Cover #2 – Black Angel
Cover #3 — Man in Black
Cover #4 — The Serpent
Cover #5 — Blue angel
Cover #6 — Fireplace
Cover #7 — Old white church
Cover #8 — Church doors
Cover #9 – Votive candles
Cover #10 — Church on fire
Man in black
# 2, Black Angel
By the way, John, I’ve been reading your book “The God Conclusion” and finding it awesome.
Thank you! For your feedback and your vote. If you are willing to leave a brief review at Amazon or where you bought it, I would sincerely appreciate it.
Dark and Ligh and Blue Angel
I find covers #2 and #3 (Man in Black) and (Black Angel) most arresting.
I like #1. The others are distracting.
