Basically, the reactions to my new cover design range from "Um, no" (the grumpy, unimaginative crowd) to "I like it!" (the more open-minded crowd).
I've come to the conclusion that you can't please everyone, so while there might be some minor tweaks, I think I'll be sticking with the current design.
As much as I think some of the naysayers are just congenital assholes looking for something to grouch at, I'm in truth thankful to have even this level of guidance (if guidance is the word) from the masses in their wisdom or unwisdom. The feedback, even the negative bits, did help me to focus more on what's important in a design. The how-to videos helped, too.
Still to go:
- table of contents
- front matter
- preface/foreword
- bio/acknowledgments/afterword
This coming week (the week of my doctor's appointment), then, the ebook ought to be ready to go. Less than a month after that, the dead-tree book will be out.
