Looks good! Did you do it yourself?

My sister Lisa Hayes did this cover for me after i showed her the idea I had wanted. I am very happy with the outcome. She did a great job, in my opinion. I am glad others like it as well!

I'm going to be really nitpicky... so feel free to ignore.

The space between the "R" in "form" and the "M" is none existent, which makes it look inconsistent for no good reason.

And I'd move the author name maybe 5-10 pixels down to clear the hair so the end of the name doesn't get lost in the curve.

Other than that, well done. Subtle bichromatic. Not sure if it fits the concept of the book without the blurb...

O luminescent, glorious gloaming light
That catch th'image divine in elfin rings,
And bring miraculous the gift of sight
Th'eye-blessing colours, frames, and imagings,

Atlas-like our servers bear the load
Of heavenly wafted words on shoulders proud,
Yet vaster still are images in code.
Four hundred pixels be the size allowed.

Four hundred by four hundred be the span
Permitted for Apollo's blessed crown,
Else Phaeton-like the horses whelm the man
And loosened bonds of light cast servers down.

If thou wouldst not this humble mod to holler,
Take pity, gird thy bounds and make it smaller.

I like the cover (good job!) but I dislike the "Book 1" addition. It tells me that I will probably need to read Book 2 or 3 or 4 for the complete tale. If sales are bad, will we ever see Book 2 or 3?

Once the series is complete, I'll give it a look.

Hi -- neat concept! My husband is a Photoshop adept, and he suggests moving the cat half down a little bit, which should make the eye and nose line up better. (It didn't immediately jump out at me, but when he mentioned it, I could see what he meant.)

I think you could also get more mileage out of a better font for the title and your name. That's often the big difference between an indie cover and a traditionally published cover.

Here's an example of font-as-art: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0373210701/?tag=absowrit-20

And another: http://www.amazon.com/dp/014241557X/?tag=absowrit-20

Of course, a beautiful font that's not legible except at full size is counterproductive, so take that suggestion with a grain of salt.

Best of luck!
