It’s like somebody combined two OK covers to make a bad one.

While I don’t think the illustration in the middle is bad, there’s something very strange about his leg. It’s like he’s a one-legged man with a hoof for a foot, ridding sidesaddle.

“The Gold Seal of Literary Excellence” OK, where’s the gold seal? All I see are gold wave crests. You mean the seal is underwater? That’s stupid.

I looked it up. It’s Trafford-bestowed (one vanity press owned by Author Solutions). Probably came with an upgraded package.

Oh, don’t apologize. Some of these covers make me want to shout and rant AND RAGE! There. That was therapeutic.
