A Fatal Error in Judgment

A Fatal Error in Judgment

 

 

 

Clearly I made a fatal error in judgment; sadly I knew it when I did it too.

 

As some of you know my new book "Crime, Passion and Murder" features the male lead (Mook the detective) on the cover and the female lead (The Dame) in the background.

 

CLEARLY this was a mistake on my part.

 

On DeviantArt.com for example the cover art for the book only has a hand full of "Favorites" while the promo Ad "The Dame in Jail" (second image) has dozens of "Favorites".

 

Not that getting "Favorites" is such a big deal but...

 

The same was true at WonderCon, hardly anyone looked at the book, but looked at all my other books and the same was true of book sales.

 

While my older books sold fairly well, while "Crime, Passion and Murder" only sold a few copies.

 

I find this disturbing mostly because I think "Crime, Passion and Murder" is written far better than my older books and it even was reviewed better than my older books (Read Review of Crime, Passion and Murder).

 

So what was the "Fatal Error"?

 

I clearly should have put the female character (The Dame) with large heaving undulating breast on the cover as it seems that be it male or female viewer, that's what gets the attention. ("The Dame in Jail" available in the NoCashComics Girls Postcard Set

 

So from now on all my covers will be "Boobs", no faces, no titles, just huge massive silly boobs... possible dozens of them.

 

These facts seem so true that the ONLY book that I've EVER SOLD OUT OF  (Killer Babes) didn't even have a story, just a book of sketches of women in states of undress (third image).

 

So while I don't like reprinting books (lack of money) I guess I don't have an option.

 

Meanwhile...

I've done Pre-Registration for FanimeCon in San Jose -  May 28 -31.

 

I'm not sure when they'll let me know if I have a table or not.

 

Maybe I'll just park out front and sell books out of the back of my car … couple nights in jail, free meals, what the heck, right?

 

Hope to see you there :)

Remember, the old pulp mags used to show sexy damsels in distress on the covers, even when the stories inside did not feature any. You'll just have to reprint "Crime, Passion and Murder" with a sexy cover.

Yes I remember them quite well being a child of the Fifty's. If I ever sell out of this copy the reprint will have a VERY diffrent cover for sure.
