So . . . I’ve been playing with cover art again.
I started out playing with cover art for BECOME. My goal here is to have at least a first draft of BECOME by the time I publish WAR OF MAGIC. That will allow me to include an excerpt of the new series at the end of the last book in the DUAL MAGICS series. Ideally, I’d like to be far enough along to include a pre-order link.
I still may tweak the series title, but this is likely to be the cover.
Then I went back to my problem child–the cover for WAR OF MAGIC. I love the old cover image, but I just haven’t been able to get the title, etc. the way I want it. Nothing works. The latest version was okay, but it didn’t really match the other books in the series–and I want the covers to brand the series as belonging together. I’m going for something better than “I can live with it.” So, I bit the bullet and went with a different background image.
I may tweak that series title a little, too. But now I’m happy with it. Finally.

Actually, I really like the book 1 cover. I’m curious, is there any reason you changed the font you name is in?

Book 1, THE SHAMAN’S CURSE or BOOK 1 of the new series.
Last year I changed the font on all of the DUAL MAGICS books to something less generic. It’s one of many things I’ve been learning through this process.
As for the new series, I’m using a similar font but not the same one for the purpose of branding the new series as distinct from DUAL MAGICS.

Ah. Well, as I said, I wanted a slightly different branding for the new series. They are very different stories.
