Help me choose the cover for my upcoming novel!

by Simon Boylan 5 Comments

I would really love your opinion in choosing the design for my book cover!  This project has been a long time in development and I am now in the final stages before publication.  I am very fortunate to have the help of one of my closest friends, the extremely talented designer Brad Maxwell, in producing a number of beautiful pieces of cover art for my book.  I now have the difficult task of making a choice!  So I’d really appreciate a moment of your time for you to give your opinion on which direction I should take.  Click here to go to  my survey to leave your opinion until the 27th of October.
