His Submissive Re-branding

No, your eyes aren't deceiving you--I am doing back to back posts. :) I was considering just P.S.'g the last post but I think this warrants its on little corner on the blog.

I've been kicking around the idea of re-branding the His Submissive e-book covers for awhile. I think the current covers are hot (from the suited up guy in the car with the chick/Billionaire's Contract to the couple from the Billionaire's Heart *fans myself*) but those images have been used on multiple other e-books for other authors and to be honest, I have yet to find a stock photo of a couple that just screams Leila and Jacob. 

So I decided to get all the e-covers re-done. As an author, this kind of thing is really nerve racking because I know from personal experience that a good cover can tip the scales as far as potential readers taking a chance on a book and so far, people have decided to take the leap on the His Sub series with the covers as is. Still, I think the covers could have more depth and something that's uniquely 'this series'. And from the mock ups I've seen from my new cover artist, I think/hope yall will love the new look! 

I plan on doing a big cover reveal during the week leading up to the release of The Billionaire's Secret (His Submissive, Part Six) so stay tuneddd. 

p.s. What made you decide you had to read Leila and Jacob's story? Did the cover play a big role?

  1. oh yay! that must be very nerve wrecking for you at the moment :S

    I usually look at covers for paperbacks, but for ebooks I tend to read the summary since not all ebooks have covers to begin with! :)

    1. I am hecka nervous...but I'm also excited b/c I think the new covers are so chic and the font is so pretty! :)

      And I'm the same with summaries...I've bought ebooks before that had not-so-great covers but the story pulled me in and didn't let go.

    2. sounds fancy ;) when's it going to launch? :D

      and exactly! some covers tends to just put up a random picture for the sake of it. totally does not do the story any justice!

  2. I love the story of Jacob and Leila!!! I was wondering how many parts are there going to be to the series??? Do you have any idea as of now or are you just letting the story tell itself???

    1. *edited this b/c I misspoke about the number of parts*
      Hey Debra! Right now I have 8 parts tbr in total and parts 6-8 are already planned out.

      I made the mistake before of saying 4 and that's it, but Leila and Jacob wouldn't let me go, so I decided to continue their story.

      I don't know about the continuation after part 8. It really depends on if I continue to get inspiration and if yall aren't sick and tired of hearing about their crazy lives. :D

      Thanks for commenting!

  4. And the cover played a tiny bit of a role, but not really. I read what it was about and was excited and eager to read ;-)

    1. :D I'm just hoping these one's hook and then reading the descript/preview solidifies the need to read even more. These covers are a lot more abstract and less nakedness happening. Still nervous, but I can't wait to share them~
