the adventure novel Rumors of Savages
Rumors of Savages is an adventure/thriller inspired by my adventures working on documentaries for National Geographic Television. A summary of the book can be found at rumorsofsavages.com and the ebook is already for sale on Amazon.com--just search under "Rumors of Savages." (The print cover is horrible, I realize--it was just the cheapest available for a print-on-demand run).
I'm looking for a new book cover for my e-book--something better than what I designed myself!
The file should be 600x800 pixels at 300 DPI, jpeg format.
Please if possible also include a Photoshop file at least 1800x2400 with title and author name as a separate layer.
I've attached a two-page summary of the book as well as the cover I designed, and would be happy to send a designer a pdf of the manuscript. It's a quick, fun read!
I'm not loving the cover I designed myself and am looking for something better--something that would appeal to the adventure/thriller/mystery crowd. The one I have, I realize, is way too busy.
The story is set in the jungle of Central Africa, with a documentary TV crew stalked by a mysterious "lost tribe" while in search of a lost anthropologist. I'm looking for something that conveys that sense of mystery, adventure, etc. It has the pacing of a Dan Brown or Michael Crichton novel.
