Ziq Heeta

Ziq Heeta (zeek hee•ta) is a member of the revolt against the Elof Empire. He is a big, burly Hupogean man, with muscles that stretch his attire to the point of bursting. Authoritative in stature and voice, he is part of the leadership group in the revolt tasked with finding a way to garner the first victory against the Empire.

In the past, he had courted Kered Lumin, but that relationship was tumultuous and short-lived. Still, the two of them remain on goods terms in their determination to overcome the Empire.

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
