DixieGal:

I've tried a few different covers.

I really like the one based on the Gustav Dore public domain image, but the detail is just so small that it doesn't work well as a thumbnail or product page photo.

I also like the original cover, based on the "double grave" image. But the feedback I received on it from readers and other authors wasn't so great.

The current ebook "cover" (which exists in two slightly different versions, at Amazon and at B&N) is much easier to see as a thumbnail, and the abstract wall collapse image has a kind of late 60's paperback vibe that I like. I'm trying it out and will see how it goes.

I'll try to think of a way to reconcile the various images, but that might be hard to do.

Krittika:

I'm not sure what that site is about. It seems to be pointing at the Smashwords product page for this book.
