No, it won't. It's just the watermark for the photo company.

I want the "dramatic feel." This is not a typical romance. And yes, the spacious center is an issue. Thing is the bottom has the nice dark background for my name. The black squiggles are just reeds.

Of course, this is all based on your book being a sweet romance. If it's steamy, then I'd use a very different sort of image that suggests the passion inside the book.

Thanks Anna. It's really more of a male romance (ala Nicholas Sparks or the Bridges of Madison County guy), neither steamy or overly sweet. Will consider your center suggestion. Appreciate the feedback.
