When the name of the publisher is not only on the cover but directly beneath the author’s name you just have to check it out. Big surprise: It’s the author themselves. Just check out this, probably the greatest lineup of creative cover design in the history of publishing http://www.tconlinedbp.net/?fbclid=IwAR0SAXCGOnBR9O-6wrRrpQvt30DRIwSCTmVPwrFkwBZtR9CBo_xZthwIXX4 Although the author apparently publishes titles by a lot of his friends every single book, regardless of who wrote it or what it is about, has exactly the same cover layout. And judging by a few I clicked on at random, he really, really hates normal aspect ratios.
Oh, and the “Book Reviews” are by the authors themselves.
Oh, hell with the covers. You guys should read his LookInsides. (Ron, these all look like HIS books, not friends of his.) They all read like…like you would orally tell stories. All narration/info dump. He’s the only author around that could tell the story of a woman having her nipples cut off and make it boring.
I also see that there are different covers on the books when I go to Amazon. They are no improvement. I like this one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1479106682 The story is set on Mars and is supposedly all about an alien virus that turns everyone into blood sucking vampires so the cover is a closeup of a rock. In fact, the first three books in the series all have exactly the same cover photo. This guy is a real gold mine, I tell you.
Did you see the one about being stranded on a planet with hostile invaders? The cover is of a woman cuddling with her dog. Take the time to cuddle in an alien war, right?

The font is what makes it extra classy. Why does Smashwords seem like a trend here?
Is this what de-funding the police looks like?
I heard if you add water it grows to 5 times its current size!
The cops were forced to switch to smart cars

Thank you for this.

The more I stare at this cover, the funnier it gets. It’s a gift that keeps on giving!

My dirty secret: When my hopper of books on Amazon runs low, I swing over to Smashwords for fish in a barrel.
This may be the worst I’ve seen. Promise me more twisted surprises from Smashwords!
That’s one chonky-boi patrol car.
This one needed compressing to about 36% (!!) before it bore any resemblance to reality.
