I just received second-round drafts of my cover, and I'm very excited about the way Glendon (Streetlight Graphics) incorporated the elements I requested. (Edit to remove my opinion; I want to hear what you have to say.)
Please post your thoughts on which cover works and any tweaks that you would recommend.
About my book
Tagline: To stop a pandemic, Jackie Davenport must uncover the truth behind a secret experiment.
Draft blurb: Jackie Davenport graduated with a M.A. in Journalism, dropped an abusive boyfriend, and landed a coveted job writing for the Houston Chronicle. Her assignment is small: travel to the oil refinery in Sundown, Texas to research high gas prices. The outbreak that obstructs her research is more than "just the flu."
Unable to merely observe, Jackie becomes a catalyst in local containment efforts, but influenza jumps outward, escaping local and national containment measures to cause a pandemic. At her sister's sickbed, Jackie must choose whether to trust a man she had tolerated only for her sister's sake-brother-in-law and absent-minded physicist, Preston Black. Trust is not something she does well, at least not since her self-image was smashed along with her heart.
Jackie's reality shifts when Preston admits directorship of a top-secret research project in time travel. Risking both her health and her burgeoning career, Jackie enlists Preston's help to uncover proof of a cover-up spanning time and rank. Now Jackie must gather her new-found courage as she presents the scoop of a lifetime.
