Hupoge

Hupoge (hū•pō•gē) is the home planet of the Hupogean people. Much of the terrain of the planet is flat and uninhabitable. Spotted around the planet in a handful of locations are oceans. While most areas are arid, locations near the oceans do contain vegetation that is more lush.

Due to the mostly flat and uninhabitable surface, the Hupogean people had created a series of underground, elaborate passageways and cities. Throughout their cities are openings to the surface above that allow natural sunlight to filter into the area, illuminating it through a collection of reflective mirrors.

Deep underground are natural springs that are directed through aqueduct systems the Hupogeans invented.

The Elof Empire invaded Hupoge and currently claims ownership of it.

Designing a Book Cover - The Third Layer

In my last post, I spoke about "The Second Layer" of designing a book cover, which is making sure you title stands out well.  Now we head to "The Third Layer". This one probably will seem obvious and it complements "The Second Layer" . It is your author name. It's important that your author name be positioned and sized correctly. There are a few approaches to this. For well known authors—for instance Stephen King or James Patterson—having the author name prominent and big on the cover is good. The reason is, their names are so popular that the author name sells the book more so than the book title sells it. As a self-published author you could use this thought process for your cover to give the impression that you are a popular author. Of course, your mileage will vary with this approach. The other option is to not allow the author name to dominate the content. So you would want it to be smaller than the title. You could even make it barely noticeable
