Really? My book is featured in a popular tumblr? Because my cover sucks?!!! |
I believe the best way an unknown author can get some great publicity is if a popular website discovers his or her book, loves it, and raves about its astounding brilliance to the eager masses. I wish I could say that happened to my book. Instead, my book cover made the popular tumblr, Kindle Cover Disasters. You can view this tumblr by clicking on this link: kindlecoverdisasters.tumblr.com and check out March 2, 2015, which showcases my cover of I Am Annoyed: One Man's Rants Against This Annoying World.
I don't know if I'm like one of those terribly off key singers who go on American Idol and can't believe it when everyone ridicules their singing, but I don't think my cover is that bad. I'm not saying it's the greatest cover ever, but I don't think it's awful. Or maybe I'm just upset that I didn't come up with the cover of a woman in a passionate embrace with a horse. Actually, it doesn't bother me that my cover is there, I just wish the guy who runs the tumblr put a direct link to my book in there like he did with almost every other book. I figure maybe I could have had some curious people click on the link to the book, read my blurb and sample, laugh their asses off, and promptly buy my book. Or at worst, maybe I'd get a few pity sales.
Anyway, it doesn't matter, because recently, I changed the book cover. Now it is a completely different, vibrant, exciting work of art:

Look at how different and better my cover is!!! |
Okay, I just changed the type of font, made the drawing of the annoyed guy larger, and changed the background color from white to black. Still, even at risk of sounding like a delusional moron, I like it.
And for the major reason why I chose to blog about this, here is the link to my book on Amazon: http:www.amazon.com/dp/B00GZO198C
Hey, I'll take any exposure I can get.
