I’m fond of the first cover of BRAGG FOR HIRE (below). It was a pre-made cover image I found on a designer’s website, and it immediately grabbed me. I like the color palette, and the open-frame buggy that both mirrors the first scene in the scout car and gives the appropriate sense of a journey across a barren wilderness. The guy’s suit also evoked Atticus’s fabric exo-suit. Perfect, right? But, alas, it was ultimately not up to snuff, and people do judge books by their covers, especially while browsing thumbnails on Amazon. Hey, I do it too!
So out with the old, and in with the new! I think the new cover is fabulous. I couldn’t be happier with it.
