And here is the other new Kindle jacket, about to be launched. The novel called "Acts of God" will shortly be taken off Kindle and replaced by a new version of the novel under the title "Icefall Zero." The reason for this is that there are at least six other books called "Acts of God", including several which are works of fiction. Too much confusion........ and it is still important for a book to have a unique name if it is to have an impact.
I have tested out the new title and book cover on assorted friends, and as ever there is much disagreement! But I have taken advantage of the consultation process and have followed some advice -- by increasing the "threat level" by portraying two Phantom jets, by adding a strap line to ensure that readers know the fellow in the picture is a Greenlander and not a Sherpa porter, and by increasing the lettering size. Thriller titles, by all account, ned to be very "blokeish" with bold lettering, brash colours and indications of violence....
Anyway, the new Kindle book will be published this weekend with a free introductory offer -- so watch this space!
