Creative Input Sought - Again!
Cut for the disinterested!
OK, The wonderful and talented Mr John Southern has been hard at work creating a cover for the book.
I've also had a little feedback from one of my clients, and I'm a bit spoiled for choice.
Firstly, John has created a couple of options, and there are things I like about both of them. Any input or insights any of you may have into the cover design would be gratefully received. The two options are linked below:

The other point is a little more fundamental. I showed the covers to one of my clients, who 'ummed and ahhed' for a bit before concluding that, having read the blurb on the back cover, he wanted to read the book, but was a bit put off by the cover image and title. He felt the title and the image suggested that this was going to be complicated and heavy-going, until he saw the back and the bit about the 12-step programme, which sounded easy and interesting. He suggested a better title might be "12 Steps to Recovery" or "12 Simple Steps Out of Recession".
I'm now so close to it that I can't see the wood for the trees. What do you all think?
