Help Me Choose a New Cover for Delilah's Demise
Happy October!
First, a quick book update. I’ve wrapped up work on Book 1 of the new series, THAT MURDER FEELING. It’s now a waiting game for responses from agents and a couple of publishers. I should know more by the end of the year. Meanwhile, I’ve begun work on Book 2—there’s an outline and I’m about a quarter of the way into the first draft.
On to the main event! I’ve been wanting to update the cover for ALL THE WHYS OF DELILAH’S DEMISE for a while and that time is finally here. The good folks at Miblart have sent me a couple of options and… I like them both. I’m leaning somewhat towards one of them but not definitively, so I’d like to ask for your help! Whether you’ve already read this near-future mystery thriller or not, take a look at the options and vote in the poll at the bottom of this email (or post, if you’re reading this on Substack). Let me know which one grabs your attention more.
I’ve never done a newsletter poll before, so hopefully it all works seamlessly. You can also respond directly to this email and vote that way.
To minimize confusion, I won’t include the old cover, but you can always view it here.
Here we go, the first cover, let’s call it Cover 1:
And here we have Cover 2:
The final version will be free of the Miblart watermark and will include some text at the top, along the lines of “a twisty near-future mystery thriller,” or “a sci-fi whodunit.” Here are the covers side by side, Amazon storefront sized:
I’ll leave the poll up for 3 days. Your help is much appreciated!

My published work so far:
ALL THE WHYS OF DELILAH’S DEMISE A near-future mystery thriller.
REGARDING DUCKS AND UNIVERSES A parallel universe whodunit.
THE INCIDENT SERIES Three book series. Time-travel mysteries.
THE FELINE AFFAIR Prequel novelette to the Incident series.
Cover 1 is more eye-catching, whether on the shelf or online. #1 also captures concepts from the book itself better than #2. Both are good, though.
