For most people, a spring clean involves running a duster and a Hoover around the house. Since cleaning your house from top to bottom can be overwhelmingly unpleasant — not to mention, time-consuming, I have developed various tactics over the years to avoid doing it. One successful tactic is to do a lot of writing. I might be living in a dusty house, but at least I can claim to have cleaned out the dirtiest parts of my brain.

If you need an excuse to avoid doing something you don't want to do, you have my permission to read these stories that I found lurking amongst the cobwebs of my mind instead.

Thank you so much for the feedback. I'm trying to teach myself a few new skills and I'm happy with how these covers have come together. I did have a bit of a scare when I accidentally posted a pussy pic on Amazon with the original cover of 'Mummy Swap Out', courtesy of these crotchless panties! The fact that I didn't notice probably says something about my tolerance for naughtiness.

You might consider some outer glow on your title/subtitles when they're positioned in a "busier" area of your image. They're getting lost in the image. This one in particular really obscures most of the title. The pink on "Oh Daddy" isn't quite bold enough to stand out from the background and her hair without some additional pop. "His Lost" really gets lost in the background with the multicolor bands behind it. "Laptop" is bright enough to pop over the change in light to dark between her legs and the shadow on her thigh, but it would need a glow if you used it on the rest of the title.

A slightly bolder pink could pop "Oh Daddy" but I don't see any way ( with this font ) to make "His Lost" truly visible without some outer glow.

Your byline pops well with the white and bevel, despite the light background. It's a bolder font, which makes that easier. It really pops in the darker areas of most of your covers where the white is a bright contrast.

One thing I often do is to convert the final image to grayscale, and see what it looks like.



The image is the first eye-catcher, but you want that title to pop as well — especially when you're hitting a popular keyword.

Thumbnails are another way to check them, and in the two for your Amazon releases, the subtitles are severely overpowered by the images. The red is again especially difficult to read.

Sitting here in preview, I'm staring at my ad for "Her Cut to the Chase" and smacking myself for not making that pop more against that Astroturf background. LOL "Morning Jo" could honestly have used a slightly lighter shade to make that title pop as well. It's doubly important there, because unlike your Amazon listings, the title isn't available in text next to it. The image is all there is to go from. I'll probably edit Chase, but Jo is so close to hitting 30k that I think I'll let it go.

Your composition is spot on. The image choices are either very evocative of the titles, or very provocative in and of themselves. I like the font choices as well. The finer ones just need a little extra pop to prevent the image from overpowering them.

Thanks for taking the time to provide such insightful feedback on my 'Oh Daddy!' covers.

This series originally comprised only the first four titles - Mummy Swap Out / Dearest Daughters / Bath Night / Bear With Me - and came about because I bought a 'job lot' of stock photographs when I was creating ebook covers for my Lush competition stories as a push to try and improve my graphic design skills. I needed a dozen pics, but it was cheaper to buy 70, which was bizarre.

So I had a folder with 60 photos and no stories attached to them.

Stylistically, these four photos stood together and it was the feeling of 'intrusion' for what became 'Mummy Swap Out' which planted the seed about who the girl on the cover was and her relationship with whoever was looking at her. The series expanded because of lockdown when I was working from home. I basically kept going back to the pool of covers and created more ebooks from them.

You're spot on to say that the subtitles are overpowered by the images - I know it goes against cover convention, but the strength here is in the pictures. They popped off the page when I bought them and I think they do the same as covers. If anything, the titles detract from the artistic merits of the photos. This is designed to work as a series, so in effect, the subtitles are irrelevant, used only to distinguish one book from another within the 'Oh Daddy!' story arena. I colour-coded the 'Oh Daddy!' title itself to indicate when a story had got out of control and expanded into more than I had set out to write - although they need a re-write to get on Amazon as they are 'actual blood' . Oops!!

The positioning of the obscured title on 'His Lost Laptop' is a deliberate ploy to force the observer to look up the woman's skirt, which is a key scene in the story. All these stories are tightly keyed into the covers, which has made the writing a lot of fun :-)

Again, thank you for your feedback. It shows that I have at least in part achieved what I set out to achieve!
