You know self publishing can sometime be a hit and miss undertaking. Sometimes you hit something out of the ballpark, and then other times you swing and miss and the bat keeps going and comes around full circle to hit you in the head, and then you bleed all over the place and scare people. My first try at the cover for the Singer seemed to be a miss. I was going for eclectic and artsy and instead got a lot of "What the heck is that?". So I went back to the drawing board and changed things. At first I was thinking, can I do this? Then I thought sure I can, that's the whole point of self publishing, so you as the author can have the ability to change things that don't work. With that being said I don't really think it should be done very often. But then again covers get changed all the time for books that have been in publication for years. As an example do a Google search on Lord Of The Flies Covers... I stopped counting at over thirty. You get the same thing if your Google The Hobbit Covers. My point? There is a precedence for changing covers. I'm not alone. The big publishers do it to. Now weather or not it was a good change...well that remains to be seen. It all depends on what the readers think, because ultimately they are the ones who decide these things by making the decision to buy...or not buy my books. Personally I hope they buy, but more than that I hope they enjoy reading them.
