"Karen,
I'm a little late in replying, but I too like the one you posted above. For what it's worth, I didn't get at all that it could be Christian fiction or nonfiction. Love the book idea!"

"Hi Karen. I like the one on the right more, but also think the charcoal might be a good idea. How about a little blurb that leads you into the story. That might help the non-fiction vs. fiction thing.

"Of these 2, I think the one on the right is more effective. I think one reason folks here are complaining that it may be a little too plain is that it's very symmetrical. The eye is drawn to the center, the title is centered, so we don't…"

Hello Karen!
Thanks for joining my group Blooming Late!
I appreciate that you are already poking arounf the site and participating!
I went to your blog on your profile, you have a unique style! And I like the book cover with the two fetuses inside the planet better but if it doesnt show up as good on thumbnail that has to be taken into consideration first I would think.
This group has a wonderful bunch of women who will serve as a great source for support. encouragement and inspiration for your writing.
The resources dicussion section might be a good place to help you out in tightening up your profile and even more info on what way to publish.
Also please list your blog in OUR GROUPS BLOGS in the pages section to the left on the groups main page. When your book is available for purchase please list it in the OUR GROUPS BOOKS as well.
SO glad you are here and WELCOME to my group!

Sounds like everything you've thought to add is exactly what I'd suggest.
When would you like to post it? You're welcome to do it this month, if you'd like.
Cheers
