My book cover coming together

To me the cover so far tells me nothing about what kind of story it represents. The artistic styling of the drawing makes me think of covers of middle grade books from when I was a child (in the 80's, if that helps). I don't know if she's a Swedish Buffy the Vampire Slayer waiting for a vampire to rise out of that fountain or if she's looking at the fountain like she's regretting dropping her last quarter into it.

For me it's not a cover that I would give a second glance at. But after reading the brief bio in the sidebar of your site it seems rather obvious you have a fan base, so I would naturally assume that your readers, being established fans of you work, would not have the same issue. The cover seems more in line with what you've previously commissioned for "Mr. Stephenson's Regret" which itself seems like some kind of historical piece (possibly involving romance? I'm not sure). Though it seems a drastic departure from "11:59" (which I had to "Look Inside" of to see the cover properly - it's very dark).

writerinthenorth, if you want a critique of your book cover then General Publishing Discussions isn't the best place. I'll move this thread to our Art and Design room, but it might get bounced out again if the room mods there think it should be somewhere else.

Meanwhile, here's a more accurate link to your book cover reveal.
