The great cover challenge

As the release date for Once Confronted draws ever closer, work on its cover has increased.

When it comes to the right cover, Once Confronted has provided many challenges. It’s not a romance. It can be intense. It’s about something terrible that happens and the recovery from that terrible event, but it’s also hopeful. It’s about a young woman’s journey through it all, but it’s not just about her journey. So what do we put on the cover? Should it be a person? What should they be doing? Should it be something symbolic? If so, what?

I am not exaggerating when I say that people have spent many hours trawling through hundreds of stock photos trying to find the right look. We’ve come up with a few and I’m hopeful that soon we’ll be able to reveal something to you but there’s no doubt it’s been a battle to find something that works. It’s especially a challenge since different people respond to different things. How do we find something that appeals to the majority? These are difficult questions to answer.

Keep an eye on my Facebook page and Twitter feed over the next few days. There may well be something there for you to see.
