New Cover

by David Batten-Hill
29th October 2012

Just a quick heads-up. I've put up a new web site and designed a new cover image for my book, 'This Son of York'.

See what you think, at www.plague-thriller.co.uk.

Hi All!

I took some ideas on board and re-jigged my cover. I'd love your opinion on it now - please bear in mind it's a work-in-progress version and a little rough.

It's at www.plague-thriller.co.uk

Thanks, David

Hello All!

I took your opinions on board and have redesigned my cover. I'd love your opinion on it now - it's at www.plague-thriller.co.uk.

Please note, it's a fairly rough version - needs some cleaning up.

Thanks, David

The Mummy's profile could have a Yorkline skyline above/beyond it it...echoing the body profile... a stylised one, photoshopped, or a delicately linear drawing. Or, remember how during times of plague, the front door of an infected house would be marked with a large red cross, and the people shut in, the windows barred and hammered shut...an alternative cover idea could be a shiny, clearly modern front door, maybe a hanging basket etc...daubed large on the door in red paint...a plague cross.

Gold and black in a more elegant slender font might work better for your name, not too Gothic...an uber modern Gothic if there is such a font. But you're the pro...good luck with it.
