FINDING POE is Getting a Brand New Look!

1/28/2013

As many of you know, I celebrated a birthday recently, and to treat myself, I decided to hire a professional cover artist to give my Gothic horror Finding Poe a great new look.  I also revised the story description, which will appear both on the cover and on Amazon.  So, compare the old . . .
Picture
Follow the final days before Edgar Allan Poe's mysterious death, journeying through twisted bits and pieces of his musings, both brilliant and mad, in search of the truth behind his final, unfinished work, "The Lighthouse," whole unraveling the mystery behind the elusive woman desperately seeking the author for answers behind her husband's haunted death.

"Atmospheric, lush, and lyrical, Leigh M. Lane's Finding Poe is a haunting Gothic novel which will delight anyone familiar with the works of Edgar Allan Poe, as well as anyone who enjoys an evocative and classic tale of terror." -horror/mystery author Dana Fredsti.


. . . with the new:
Picture
In the wake of her husband's haunted death, one woman must sift through the cryptic clues left behind in order to solve the mystery behind his suicide—all of which point back to the elusive author, Edgar Allan Poe. She soon finds that reality and nightmare have become fused onto one as she journeys from a haunted lighthouse in New England to Baltimore, where the only man who might know the answers to her many questions resides.

But will she find her answers before insanity rips her grip on reality for good? Might a man she's never met hold the only key to a truth more shocking than even she could have imagined? 


As far as I'm concerned, there's no comparison.  I would like to give special thanks to Michael Ezaky for working with me (very patiently, I must add) to get this cover just right.

You can view Michael Ezaky's art at http://ezakytheartist.deviantart.com, and you can contact him about cover art at Chaoticfantasy.com.  He's also on Facebook.  I can say with the utmost of confidence that Mr. Ezaky is very professional, very reasonable in price, and will not stop working until you have the perfect cover art for your work.

I'm so excited to be unveiling this new cover to the rest of the world within the next few days, but I thought I'd give you all a sneak-peek.  What do you think?  Share your thoughts for a chance at a signed copy of the new printing.

I think the new cover is interesting but I really like the original, especially with lighthouse showing the image of Poe in it;s beam. I do like the new story description as it details the work to be found with in.
I am led to believe the old adage "Don't judge a book by it's cover". The story within is out-glows the cover but truly it is the packaging you like that means the most.

I appreciate the input, Keith! I like the old cover too, but I feared potential readers might see it as too unprofessional and assume I'm one of the Indies to avoid. (It's astounding how many avid readers avoid Indie authors like the plague.) I'm so glad you enjoyed the book. Thanks so much for reading!

The new cover is going to get a small refurbishing. Let me know if you would like a copy once it's finished, Keith. Thanks again for your feedback!
