Early cover concepts . . . Foul Tide’s Turning.
I have just got the early cover concepts in for Foul Tide’s Turning, the second in my Far-called sequence of fantasy books. There’s various options I need to select from and I need your help … let me know in the comments which cover jacket you’d go for?
The first edition of this book will be out May 2015 from Gollancz/Hachette and should – as the saying goes – be available in all good bookshops (maybe even Amazon, but let’s think positive).
Cover concept #1.
Cover concept #2.
Cover concept #3.

Hi, Stephen,
Good artwork, I think #2 will be the sharpest look. The blue lettering will be harder to see, but the blue/red balance is best in # 2. Good luck on the release! -Tom
cover 2 by far the best
First let me say these are very beautiful cover designs. After spending over 30 years in the publishing field the objective is to get your books attention to a prospective buyer as quickly as possible in an arena chock full of books. Have to agree with the consensus that #2 stands out the best. Good luck.
I also favor #2.
No.2 best look of them all, sharpest and clearest, Beautiful art work. 🙂
Cheers, that’s great – looks like #2 has it!
A bit late, but I also prefer #2. All of them being similar, that’s the one that I feel is… a bit crispier than the rest.
At what Lexile measure are the Far Called series written?
