Hey, Kindle Board peeps, can you offer some of your expert advice for my cover and/or blurb? It's a sci-fi short story, originally titled "Soul Mates," but it was suggested I should change it to "Strange Soul Mates" to sound less romancey and more sci-fi/Twilight Zoney.
I designed a text-based cover--I'm trying to stick to something basic because when I work with art/images, I end up creating something too darn hokey. I'm hoping this design communicates it's a sci-fi story, and this is my first attempt at a tagline:
And here's the blurb:
"Do you have serious trust issues? Are you constantly wondering if your significant other is out meeting someone from Craigslist for a scandalous tryst? Have you ever wished you could just absorb your SO's mind into your own so you'd never have to worry about infidelity again? No? Well, you're not the guy that George Packard, an ex-government engineer, is looking for.
Jealous, possessive, and intoxicated Steven is that guy. And he's about to take a trip down the rabbit hole by way of invasive technology and drunken desperation."
I'm pretty sure I'm at the point where I've lost all perspective on how to present this short work at this point. Help me, Kindle Boards!
