An example he gave was the series AURALIA'S COLORS by Jeffrey Overstreet. It was the third book's cover, RAVEN'S LADDER, that got him interested, because it had an epic warrior dude on the cover. :) So that's one guy's opinion for you.

I have trouble snagging male readers with the current cover images (other than DRAGONWITCH and GODDESS TITHE), though the gentlemen who do pick them up tend to enjoy them just as much as the ladies do.<br /><br />Something I'll have to think about in years to come. But, as I said, there are NO PLANS whatsoever for the series to see any cover design changes anytime in the near future.<br /><br />Thank you for all the lovely comments, everyone! You made my day. :)Anne Elisabeth Stenglhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462605949792523331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-81574523750994525472015-02-08T17:12:44.528-05:002015-02-08T17:12:44.528-05:00Excited for the art contest!
