When I first saw this title I thought for sure the book was about folded pizza crust with pizza-topping stuffing all warm and gooey inside. Mmmm, I said, an Italian-themed cookbook. Oh, but no. That would’ve been good. This is a hot mess. What’s next? Arifornia?
I am always open to suggestion. The random assortment of items is designed to draw in different demographics. Vapers will notice the ecigs, stoners will notice the Louisville slugger and the sneak a toke, and everyone notices the gun. Shovel is rusty for mataphoric reasons. The bottle of Mickeys is because one of the main characters is named Mickey. The items were intended to appear like junk on a busy desk, with a modern tablet right in the middle.
I don’t know if it’s salvageable. You could try submitting it to covercritics.com, the snark-free sister site to this one. You might just have to ditch it and buy a pre-made cover that fits your story.
Ill try covercritics. I want a better cover but am at a loss for a new design. Funnier yet, ill have to figure out a cover for the sequel in Six months.
I love how his plethora of random and distracting stuff is all so perfectly “spilled” that all the spaces are even and nothing covers anything…
“Copyrighted material”?
I’M SOLD!
Again, I explain: The “copyrighted material” notice is placed on the covers of print books by Amazon, not the publisher.
Perhaps a sternly worded post is in order Mr. Nathan.
Funny, most of this stuff looks like it came out of my Daddy’s tool shed.
By Ralph Rotten? **snicker**
Right? I just rolled my eyes…
My daddy would never have let a tool get so rusty, like that shovel.

Rotten, indeed.
Really wish I’d gotten on this site earlier today; I would have beat you to this joke. š Well played!
::bows gratefully::
I just hope Ralph cleaned everything up after he was done with the photoshoot in his garage.
Thank goodness the e-cigs and duct tape survive this apocalypse.
Can you imagine an apocalypse without duct tape? The horror!

I want to know is that some sort of embryo/thing in that beer mug being used as a glass jar with a lid.
Amazon puts the copyright on the displayed cover, its not on the actual book.

I did rework the cover so it didn’t look so much like a template. Lemme know what you think.
