Announcing the release of the new book covers for The Seekers Series!

Do I feel a little silly, you ask?
Yes. Of course I do.
Launch three books, not to mention a novella, share the cover images far and wide- only to then do a complete one-eighty? Scrap the old covers? Admit they were all a mistake? Publish all new covers?
It’s the kind of thing anyone with an ounce of pride would never do, much less admit. Good thing I have so little left 🙂
But seriously- why would I do such a thing?
Because I love you, the reader, more than I love appearances. And because I learned the old covers had been driving so many of you away, and I didn’t even know it.
Until a good friend had the courage to tell me, “You have a bad cover.” Thanks Thomas!
And another told me, “Your book didn’t look like one I’d enjoy, but then I read it. And couldn’t put it down.” Thanks Darlene!
What I’ve learned is this: the old covers were beautiful. I loved them, and will always be so very grateful to the illustrator who designed them, for all of the hard work she put into them. But they communicated the wrong impression of the books.
They didn’t, for instance, make it clear at a glance that my books are decidedly Christian fiction, among so many other things.
So, after hundreds of hours work, and no small expense, I hereby announce the release of the new covers for The Seekers Series! I think with these new covers, the Christian nature of the books is immediately obvious. They evoke a sense of the mysterious, of adventure, of epic stakes, of suspense, of light overcoming darkness in a future, oppressive world. Let me know what you think of them by replying to this email or commenting on the blog!
And keep in mind Interregnum: Book Three of The Seekers Series is now available for pre-order on Amazon– don’t forget to grab your copy and please, please, leave a review! Let me know what you think.
