I can read your name but I cannot read the title. It looks like a red blur.
Red blurs are not good for selling books.
Be cheesy, overused and predictable. That sells more books.
Now other advice: do not try to do it all on your own.
99% of the successful self published authors I know do not do their own covers or their own editing. They hire professionals and invest heavily in their books.
I am not talking $20, I am talking over $1000.
A couple even have full time staff.
Only one writes episodes. They all waited until they had several books out in one genre then they started advertising. Yes, some of them eventually branched out but not until they were successful.
It was in an advertising chat that I met many of these now successful authors.
