Book covers can be quite difficult to figure out. I know I can hire a professional but having looked at the book covers out there, there is not that much originality anyway. Besides, I have Canva Pro, and I imagine a lot of book designers use a tool like this anyway.
I had thought about sending these next week, but it’s a holiday week and many of you will be traveling. Save travels, by the way. So I’m sending these covers to you today hoping some of you will take some time to look at them.
Update about these covers
For those who didn’t read this week’s newsletter, I’m getting ready to submit my first book, Depression Has a Big Voice, for a soft cover edition. Looking over the black and white theme that I used, I’m wondering if something more “gentle” would be better.
I would love to hear from a few of you as to which cover you like and why. You can actually e-mail me at foxrap@aol.com, if you don’t want to make your comments public on the blog.

I really appreciate this and anyone who give me an opinion. Of course, I will you send you a free soft cover. This will be a few months out though because all this takes time.
Other authors change covers at times and sometimes they even change the title. I’ve not considered that as I like this title. But I am always open to your thoughts. Thanks to all of you who help. Remember, you can send me an e-mail at foxrap@aol.com with your vote if you prefer.
God bless and have a great day.

Post 5: The Gift of Godly Parents. It’s Unsurpassed.
Proverbs 1:8–9 Hear, my son (child), your father’s instructionAnd do not forsake your mother’s teaching, Indeed, they are a graceful wreath to your headAnd ornaments about your neck.
