Third Attempt at Posting -- Cover Tweaking

So -- I decided that the current incarnation of my covers was too dark. I knew they were tiny dark blobs on the screen when looked at by a Kindle or an iPhone. So, I asked my Photoshop friend to help me come up with something more visible. (There was a brief attempt at looking for a cover artist, but everyone I was interested in had a six week waiting list, and using brand new people trying to break into covers suggested more effort than I was up to right now, explaining what I wanted, what was popular, etc.)

I wanted big, easy-to-see titles, my name shorter and larger, and brighter. Plus the series numbers on the covers. Got that.

Apologies to Facebook people getting this twice -- I couldn't get the blog to take my uploads earlier!

They may go up one at a time -- the problem may be my trying to make an album of them? (NOTE: -- so, maybe a bookmark...)

Nice. Have you seen how they look in black and white colour as that is what the thumbnail is on my kindle?

Not yet. I am hopeful that they don't blur to gray. Something had to be done -- this was what I was up for! If I can, I'll look tonight.

They look decent, especially Fires of Nuala!
