How do 
you feel about updating new covers on existing books?
This is my existing cover for my first book ‘Tissue of Lies’. Now I’m about to publish a second book, I would like to update my first book’s cover. It was, after all, my very first attempt at a cover, and I have to own up to the fact that I didn’t put a great deal of effort into it. I just used a painting I had created years before and added a house.
I was wondering how readers feel about books having new covers. Do you have a strong opinion about this sort of thing, or do you think it doesn’t matter? I look forward to hearing your views.

I really like this cover like someone else said. Maybe keep some of it and blend in new features from the story.

Oh dear, I apologise for being so late with my response to your comment. Thank you for your suggestion. I did try that when I was considering changing it, but I never came up with anything I liked.

I am also sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. Been on the go all summer.

I actually quite like this one Carole! If you are going to do a new cover though, you might want to take the opportunity to re proofread your book at the same time.

This book was published 2.5 years ago. I did actually proofread again just twelve months ago. However, I’ve learned such a lot since then, your suggestion makes sense. Thank you!

I think new book covers are a great idea Carole. Tastes change with times and there’s no reason an author can’t keep up. Or you may want to keep all your books under a style so they look good on shelves.
As long as readers don’t think it’s a new book and buy it in error they won’t mind.
Good luck with it.

Thanks for your input, David. I was thinking of a similar style to my second co-authored book due out 23rd of this month.
