Has anyone done this? I am planning on changing Ghost No More's cover to be a little more "matching" to Lost No More. I've heard feedback from some other author's that didn't like Ghost No More's cover, but I'm afraid to lose the visibility I've garnered through these months. The book sells fairly well now. AHHHHHH

The oddest difference between the two is one has a colour picture and one is greyscale. I like Ghost No More better, so if it were me, I'd replace the image on the second one with something in colour. But you might want to ask in the cover forum, where you'll get more advice.

Thank you Polenth! I actually already changed the cover, so the Ghost No More is my new cover. The old one was pinker.

Now I wait to see how it affects sales. Biting nails... lol

The new one is nice. I like that the slight bleached color scheme does just enough to bring out the straw and sepia colors. Very simple and stylish.

I didn't see the older version, but I like the current version you have up for Ghost No More. It feels professional to me. I'm not so sure about Lost No More, but if readers like it, go for it. Good luck with your sales. :)

I think the new one looks good.

Books change their covers all the time, usually with edition updates. If it fits with your brand better, go ahead and do it!
