Although the Athens summer is not really the time for thinking about new coats, that’s exactly what I did during one of the heatwaves of July.
There a many factors that could influence whether a book gets sold on Amazon.com. But very important are the title and the cover. For A Devil’s Child, I already tried changing the cover. Still the book didn’t get picked up enough. So now I also changed the name.
The problem is that when you sell your books on Amazon, the cover has to compete with loads of others to catch the attention of potential readers. Covers that work perfectly well in a bookshop where you pick a book that is actually lying in front of you, often do not do well in the online bookshops.
And then the title. It didn’t seem to fit the genre, which is suspense, thriller, espionage. So it was time for a completely new coat: a new title with a new cover.
So, tadaaa: here is The Jealous Spy! A story full of suspense, some romance and some espionage that is set in the Netherlands, Iraqi Kurdistan and Iraq itself before and after the fall of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
For sale in the different Amazon-shops, in e-book and paperback.
