The cover art for the book is finalized (I hope). It took some edits, some reworks, some words exchanged - but that's in the past and it's done. While not what I was initially expecting and Ark's hair is a bit too blonde and slightly emo - I think it still makes for a presentable book cover. Thanks and credit goes to Ryan Vogler for his time and energy spent making this piece for me. Now onto final edits and e-book publication due in April 2011. I'm planning on special pricing for my friends and "fans" for the initial run.
While I'm here, let me note that I appreciate any comments, words of praise, or bashing you may feel necessary to inflict upon me. I guess I don't appreciate the bashing - but criticism is sometimes as helpful as kindness. Tell me what you think and participate, dammit.

Hi there James! It has been quite joyful to follow your posts. Congratulations for your book cover. I got well curious to know more about the story. I would like to come up with with better feedback for the cover itself, but I don't know what you have requested the artist and how he/she fulfilled your expectations. So far, the image looks quite mysterious...
Anyways, wish you success! :D
I am excited to see how this works out for you! Best of luck from your #1 fan!

Since you aren't a household name yet, it would probably be better to have the title larger than the author name.
There should probably be some atmospheric perspective on the cityscape. I can't tell if he's on a cliff/overlook.
The font is too thin in some places, especially the smaller text.
Thanks Cassey, I see what you're saying on all accounts here. The name up top - well, I liked the way it turned out in this arrangement the best. The art - it is what it is at this point. I see what you mean with the perspective, though. The font - meh. That is all.
