The Novel Poll
I've said it before and I'll say it again. The cover art on a novel is important! It is especially important if an author is not going to have a professional design it. Not all authors get to publish through the traditional route.
So, I've three mock covers I've tinkered with over the years and I wanted to find out what the people think. Which cover would entice you to pick up the book to read the jacket?
I would like this book to appeal to both genders so I really want honesty here. You can vote on the handy dandy polling machine at the top of the side bar-->
Which will it be? Please leave a comment with your opinion. If none of them would make you pick up a novel, let me know. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Stella, out!

Maybe the first one would work if it was more dirty and gritty and obviously not a romance novel. The middle one is pretty vague though.
Thanks for your thoughts!!
Maybe play with the fonts a little? The title could stand out more and be bigger so if it were shrunk down to a thumbnail, it would still be easily readable.
Maybe put the focus more on the title and the hands in chains and show less of the big, bright, naked back--that might help venture away from the erotica feel.
How about a close-up of the guy in cuffs that are shaped like this image, the female symbol? And/or maybe include the goddess pendant?
