My first novel, 'The Royal Sheikh', a contemporary romance, has been available for about a month now as an ebook on Amazon and sales have been great. However, I can't but wonder if sales would be even better if the book had a good cover. After many, many hours of trying to redesign one myself, I've finally decided to hire a professional. Have I given up too early? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe I should just realize that there are some things I can do, like writing (I hope!) and some things that I can't do, like picture editing! I expect I will forever be impressed by those authors who manage to produce excellent covers on their own. In the meantime, I'll stick to the writing side of publishing.
