Currently on a third cover design. I like this one better, and more importantly, the readers do too. This cover has a historic, space adventure feel, with a bit of steampunk thrown in.
During the pandemic, I took the opportunity during lockdown to focus on working on “Aether War” for several hours each morning before shifting to my part-time remote work. Since my wife was also in the house teaching music virtually, I used the space I had in my garage to avoid any unintentional distraction. The garage’s big car door also gave me a ‘window’ to look out of. While it was an unexpected writing spot, I returned to the garage once more when it was time to edit the first draft.

Fun fact: This new cover also follows the Z eye movement pattern found on many covers. The reader's eyes start at the top title, moving left to right, following the action in the graphic from the upper right corner, diagonally to the lower left. Then they look from left to right by reading the author’s name. Want to learn more about #BookCoverDesign to create your own cover?
