  1. I like your artwork much better, but I think the "of" gets lost - maybe if that was the same shade of grey as the word "grey" ?

  2. I agree its tad hard to read (of and grey) and figure out the image. Need spine

  3. I like your book cover, makes it mysterious. I have to agree to that the image of the woman is a little too distorted. I had to try to make the image bigger to figure it out. I like the grayscale of the cover and the lighting effect in the middle. Great job.

  4. Thanks for the input! I will absolutely revise the color of "grey" and repost.

    Hi Robin and Jon,
    I choose to go with a distorted image of the female because of the story's main character, Ana. Ana is a mystery, very hard to read, shy, modest and incredibly uncomfortable with her body and sexuality. She's fallen for a gentleman who is far outside the scope of what she considers safe. By blurring her and enhancing her hands and cuffs, I thought it gave her the protection she needed while still conveying the erotic current of the story. Maybe the image makes a little more sense after clarifying?

  5. I like the "shades of Gray" the space seems a bit off to me. The left side of the cover is too crowded.
