Maybe a picture of me, with several bikini models all around me, fanning me with those giant tropical leaves.....lol....No? Well, I tried!

Hi Cookie! Good to hear from you. I agree with what you mean about the pink ones, especially now hearing from others. So, those are no longer being considered. The latest seems to be the best so far... we will see :) The final choice for the cover will be V-Day, but the actual release date will be closer to my Birthday May 21st :)

Hi everybody...have felt somewhat overwhelmed lately, holidays and such. Anyhow, I like the latest. Makes me want to read what's inside to find out what that 'rare perspective' is all about vs the ones with the pink backgrounds which comes across more like a love and sex guide. Which isn't a bad thing, just feel like I get a different vibe from the pink. Are you timing the release of your new book with V-Day?

[Bryan Hutchinson]

WoW Bambi, you nearly got me blushing! You are quite the creative one aren't you?! lol

The quote does seem a bit long for the front cover, it may go on the inside or back. The red background color with shiny silverish letters will remain, along with the piece of chocolate. The subtitle is what has my imagination at the moment. I don't want to reveal too much, but not be too secretive either. The book is about Sex, Love and ADHD! Tastefully and with no shame! I go directly for the emotions of our reality dealing with those.

The line about Chocolate will not be used in any form. It's just too confusing any way it is written. You have to read the book to really get the chocolate reference and may just throw people off, as it is doing here already :) hrmmm interesting indeed!

These suggestions are great and keep me thinking!

adult adhd styled to form the upper lip (space at cupid's bow) in the deep red. stretch and stylize SEXY into full pouty lower lip ( deep red ). lip accents/creases in silver. part lips slightly open with black interior. have tip of tongue ( in shade lighter in red or maybe pink ) flick up on one side as if licking with CAN BE in silver on the underside. underneath "like the first taste of melting chocolate
sensually unique"
or "be the first taste of melting chocolate
sensually unique"

this text in silver ( script font? ). your name in larger text (silver in Bookman, Cooper or Helvetica font) followed by credits in silver, same font and slightly smaller text..

I know out of left field. But that's where my ADD and I wandered off to in the quest of a helping comment. no need to worry, those who know me swear I was BORN outside the box. So I never get lost, since i'm always somewhere, heading to the place I will be at, once I get there. Whew, I thought that that would run up it's own backside trying to get out. blessings for your book. can't wait. Bye now!

Bryan, I checked back to see that you added another new book cover with a few changes. In my own opinion, I still LOVE the original red book cover that has the titles of your other books. I am with Sally about placing Dr. Irwin's statement onto the back of the cover. Most individuals always read the back cover of a book to find out what the book is really about and to learn more about the author.

Instead of the sentence, "Never a last bite of chocolate" what if this were changed to "Better than the last morsel of chocolate"?

[Bryan Hutchinson]

Thanks! I particularly like Dr. Irwin's quote and feel it helps clarify, but not giveaway too much of what is inside of the book. When presenting a book online, most only see the 'front' of the cover and never actually 'see' the back of it. So, the thinking is to give a little synopsis without full details and Dr. Irwin's quote helps with that. I may still include my other book titles on the cover, which has more to do with space than anything else. I may change the word 'Uplifting' with 'Exciting', because more than anything it is exciting and on the edge, although quite uplifting too!

The first and second red (from top) are the same red background. Nothings final yet, putting ideas out there and we'll see :-))

I like the latest. For me it is nice to not have to flip a book over to see exactly what it is about.

I would take the chocolate off and no heart in the background. I would also not include the quote from the Dr. on the front, but would do it on the inside cover. The second red is a great blue-red, classy red color, not orange....oh, so I guess the second one without the chocolate heart is the best. I think that people with ADD are stereotyped so so often, that it is important to keep it simple and classy. All of the other stuff like endorsements and photos should be on the inside.

Do you have a particularly poignant quote that you could place on the front cover....?

I too like the "Bryan Hutchison, Author of..."
