Unless\nyou\u2019re independently publishing and overseeing every aspect of your book\u2019s\nlaunch, you probably don\u2019t give a lot of thought to the cover. I do both,\nindependent, and through small publishing imprints, and until recently paid\nlittle attention to the covers the publishers chose to affix to what I\u2019ve\nsubmitted to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\ndid not book, Toby Giles: Tarnished Badge<\/em>, the story of a runaway slave\nwho is appointed sheriff of the all-white town of Jericho, Ohio, at the\nsuggestion of publicist Nick Wales, which was published with the cover below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original cover for Tarnished Badge<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Not a bad cover actually, and I had no complaints. But I so enjoyed the story, and based on sales, so did a large number of readers, I decided to do a sequel, Toby Giles: The Walls of Jericho. <\/em>Here\u2019s the cover chosen, and, in my opinion, it is perfect for the subject matter of the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
This cover really catches the eye.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The\npublisher thought so as well, because shortly after the release of this one,\nbook one was reissued with a new cover:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Sure, it’s the same as Tarnished Badge, but eye-catching and appropriate.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now,\nthe two covers are identical except for the book title, but they\u2019re clearly\nrelated to even the most casual shopper, and adorned with covers that are\nguaranteed to catch the eye.\u2014don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
