In Too Deep, Book 2 Cover Poll
🕑 Added 2024-06-21 16:58:36 +0000 UTCI know that you're all eagerly anticipating the next book. I've got the first part all lined up, but have actually re-written the part that follows in light of some of the feedback here (it won't change the structure of the story, but I wanted the emotional impact to land as I intended).
I've also been working on the cover for book 2, and have a few ideas. I thought it would be fun to create a poll for this community to weigh in.
As a reminder, here's the cover of the first book:
The followup should feel like it's part of the same series. So here we go (vote at the bottom).
Option 1

Option 2
Option 3

I get the sense she is crawling toward someone. Maybe the boss to give him a B.J.

I kinda like No. 1 the best out of the three options, since it's bit close to the previous cover image. That said, I'm a bit iffy about the thigh peeking through the slit down to the ankle, and the arm holding the gun - they look a tad too thick and muscular. Being Japanese, I don't necessarily expect super buff muscles on strong characters, especially in fiction. If you familiar with Japanese anime and manga, you will understand what I meant.

Until it was mentioned I hadn’t picked up that she’s wearing a mask. Maybe some photoshop highlighting would make it more obvious. Also, I realized my previous series of questions about what’s happening with her missed the most obvious one: is she being fucked?

I didn't notice it either, but you're right, once you see it......too bad it's not a blindfold
Kenny Wright
Once you see it, you can't unsee it. lol
Andrew Mellein
Yeah. I like the image of her crawling. But the image is dark that I couldn't even see the mask.
Chris K
I honestly didn't even notice! 🤣
Kenny Wright
She's wearing a mask in the image. I actually don't love the mask though. Maybe I'll crop it. It's dark, and looks kind of alien.
Chris K
LOL. Why?
Kenny Wright
Guess I’ll have to write her wearing a mask at some point

Number 3 for sure and where are the guns in story?! In terms of dark we haven’t really gone there yet, but I am confident you’ll deliver in books 2/3
Andrew Mellein
You should try doing a raven tattoo on her back for book 3, if you can. If not that's understandable.

Crawling stripper for me. I love the idea of Amanda doing debasing things for her undercover job at the expense of her marriage. Although I love the stripper pole image from book 1!
@hebridesdrifter
I love all that’s implied in the Crawling Stripper cover. First it’s a stark contrast to the confident looking woman in Book 1. And why is she crawling. Is she unable to walk? Is she in the throes of ecstasy? Is she drugged? Is she a prisoner? All implying a dark journey in Book 2.

To this point, we haven't seen any guns being used in the story so I'm not sure if that fits for the cover. I'd use option 3 or option 2 if it's too risque.

Very excited 😊
