Fostered Identity: The Twisted Deception Suspense/Thriller/Mystery Series

And this is an object lesson in that speech we give people over at CoverCritics.com: don’t focus on your story elements, on the cover, because your prospective buyer hasn’t read the story yet, and couldn’t care less that you’ve put a stone house, an emerald, etc. on the cover. They’re meaningless to that person; they only have meaning to you, the author–and you’re not buying, right?

I mean, who would look at this cover and say “ooooh, look, a stone house and an emerald. Yup, that’s my kinda book!”? I don’t get it.
