Among the 80 bazillion other blunders, this person actually **deliberately** set the opacity of the title text to less than 100%!!! He/She put **effort** into making the book’s title illegible!!
Future queen of drapery, sparklers, and plastic jewelry from China. Anyone got a guess as to what that crusty brown thing across the bottom is supposed to be?
Also, we need a new category called ‘Bye by’, because far too many of these covers have ‘by’ on them. Which automatically classifies them as a lousy cover.
As others have pointed out here professional covers for notable professional authors do sometimes use “by” on the cover. Depends on the publisher and other factors. So use of “by” alone doesn’t indicate lousiness or even amateur. It’s the crap around it that’s the trouble!
And in this case, I’m sure the author didn’t want to cause any confusion. You know, us morons (and I have been told I am the king of morons) might think B.K. Crawford is The Future Queen.

Flowers are sitting on it, so I think that is a table.
Damn. That’s one sturdy table!
I vote for coffin. The current queen has to die at some point.
Good lord – this is a fuster cluck of EPIC (out of) proportions!
*see what I did there?* 😉
Giggle. ;
This is in a category all its own.
