I think you might could do a bloody fingerprint under the text in the lower left-hand corner.

You might also what to run the cover though Photoshop and try to shift the colors, just a touch to make the color tone more blue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175053073870042983.post-35593153821125567702011-07-15T15:33:06.466-07:002011-07-15T15:33:06.466-07:00I thought about that, too, SJ.

I love, love, love this cover and always have.<br /><br />But Concerto is romantic suspense or suspense (I've heard differing opinions on the genre). And it has a cover that screams literary fiction.<br /><br />I'm working on some other options, because I imagine this cover, as pretty as it is, has got to be putting off prospective readers because you can't tell what it is!<br /><br />Thanks for the comments everyone!Sandra Millerhttp://www.sandra-miller.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175053073870042983.post-55193023551110375872011-07-15T10:27:43.797-07:002011-07-15T10:27:43.797-07:00I'd say literary fiction as the genre.

I'd consider giving a bigger hint to the genre if it's not, but it is such a nice cover, I'd hate to play around with it, too.J. R.

Not sure what the logline would be, though.<br /><br />I'd probably sample because of the cover (yes, I can be a sucker for such things, lol!).Nancy Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06214579721075450777noreply@blogger.com
