Thank you to everyone who responded to my call for help on the new cover!
As you can see, ‘The Vintage Egg’ was your favourite title, but only by 9 votes to 6. I looked at those numbers and realised ‘Postcards from Tomorrow’ would be great as the title of a series, so that’s what I’ve done.
For the moment, a series of short story books is more aspirational than anything else, but I like the idea. π
I’ve also fixed the layers issue I was having, and now the graphic shows the cockpit cover as it was meant to. Phew.
Finally, I took note of the comments about the readability of the small text, and changed the font. I realise this still won’t show up on the normal Amazon book list, but should work on the ‘look inside’… assuming anyone gets that far.
Thanks to all your feedback I believe this cover is now done! And I have to say I’m proud of it. Very proud. I’m also very touched at all the support you guys have given me. David, Ilil, Metan and EllaDee did a superb job as beta readers, [and proofreaders as well!] and all of you helped make the cover an order of magnitude more professional than it would otherwise have been.
Thank you. I love you all.

I’m so glad you went with the all yellow. Aspirational or not, Book 1 infers there will be a series, which can only be a good thng as far as I’m concerned. I’ve realised after reading your short stories, and another author’s just how much skill is necessary. You are amazing to not only write the stories but design covers.

Hugs for the compliment, but the artist in this family is my daughter. She draws, models and animates people. I just like messing with ‘things’. π One true love is the ‘umble word.
