Thoughts on cover art for Life of Secrets

I have some very specific ideas for the cover art for Life of Secrets, and nothing I have seen so far really fits. The gentleman who did the cover art for Death of Secrets for me did great work, and I would like to work with him again. My struggle is that his pre-made covers that are available right now don’t quite fit Life of Secrets, and getting a custom one done gets expensive fast.

I am giving some thought to trying it on my own. I’ve learned a lot about this since the last time I tried to do my own cover, and I think I know the tricks that make it look professional.

But I love this story too much to put it out with anything but a first-rate book cover, so I’m not sure whether I’ll be willing to take the risk or not.
