January 7 question - Is there anything in your writing plans for 2026 that you are going to do that you couldn't get done in 2025?
I'm planning to get book three of my Existence series done in 2026. Any thoughts on the cover of Cave of Existence?
Cave of Existence (Book 3) — Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, Myths and Legends, Speculative Fiction, New Adult, "Superhero Fantasy"
Fractions of Existence (Book 1) — Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, Myths and Legends, Speculative Fiction, New Adult, "Superhero Fantasy"
Proof of Existence (Book 2) — Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, Myths and Legends, Speculative Fiction, New Adult, "Superhero Fantasy"

Naughty comment ... but where's the cave?
ReplyDeleteGood luck writing.
Ha ha ha. If just *anyone* could get to it, that would be a problem. So, it's right there, where you won't find it. 😉
DeleteI like the new cover, but it'd be nice if you had something more than water, like the other two covers.
ReplyDeleteAgree with the first two comments. Cover art is a bit simple and there's no cave...
ReplyDeleteGood luck finishing it! Perhaps an overlay of a cave over the cover image to give an almost ghost image to go with the title? And the title should be bigger -- I don't think you'll be able to read it on a thumbnail (bigger like the first novel's).

Sorry, but it needs a more interesting image. And Ronel is right - the title needs to be bigger.
ReplyDeleteI'm not great at covers, but my absolute favorite of those is Fractions. In trying to figure out why, I like that there's a slight blur of color innate to the picture that softens the spiral, how focused in we are on the background, and the size and location of the title.
ReplyDeleteI think you've got good feedback here on the cover--I agree with pretty much all of it. But in any case, here's to getting the new book finished and out!
ReplyDeleteHey there!
ReplyDeleteA bit late, I know but...was busy, had school:)
I like the second book's cover the best and as a fifteen year old who reads book after really judging the covers....I agree with the others here.
Cngrts on writing the book and all the best on publishing it!!!
I hope you have a great 2026!
