Following feedback from some early customers, it was becoming clear that not many people could see that the front cover was actually a canal bridge at night. After speaking to Tim O'Rourke, he suggested a change to the cover that more closely followed other books in my genre.
Tim suggested a variant of the lady in bed that appears on the new front cover which I bought from Shutterstock. I went through a similar process of editing the picture to give it a dark, pink-red sheen and added my brand of titling.
The original cover depicts a scene towards the end of the book; the new portrays the start with the original now on the back.
I think the finished article looks good and a quick straw poll of random reviewers confirmed it. Let's see if I makes any difference to sales...
