Hello, Hive Mind,
I’m doing up my own covers for the European market (Germany is now more than half of my total sales), and I have two covers for book 2 of my Supernatural Activities Division series that I can’t decide between. This is pulp-horror-military action-urban fantasy and is almost certainly intended for a male audience.
Which of these two images would make the best cover?
Image #1 - with gun. Image #2, no gun, bathing suit.
I like the gun in the picture, but I also the extra magic in the other image, and the swim suit. Sex appeal sells, what can I say.
Once I have decided on the image, I’ll play with Photoshop and work on the text and icons.
