First impression, please?

What do you think this book is about? It isn't published yet, this is the cover reveal, and if I knew what you saw, or failed to see, I would know how to word the tweets and posts needed to fill in the gaps.

The cover won't be changing although if you have really strong opinions they'll be taken on board for when it IS revamped.

A couple of people do know what it is about, because they were test readers hug but no spoilers, okay? I'd still appreciate your comment.

A couple will mock, I expect that, a cheerful one finger salute to you grin but if your mockery is valid, ouch, but thank you.

After first comment, oops, I should have said, it is fiction

WHOA okay I am putting in a few spoilers after all in the comments. Right now, though, saying the rainbow is not bisexuality. Comments below but if you want to comment before you read them, that's cool. And useful.

Mental Health Awareness ?
A second rainbow is mental health awareness? confused
Twist in one's life!
Ooh, thanks, yes. That's good.

Unintended, but good!
Sorry biff...uh oh
I think I'll better get a drink maybe I'll get a better insight when I'm drunk wine
Haha Seri it will cost me a fortune if I have to get everyone drunk before I launch marketing at them rolling on the floor laughing

I will say I like the idea that it promotes a nice healthy mental state applause
After Jesus was highlighted as a rainbow I would say the second coming of Christ..........I know narrows your viewing audience to just Catholics, but hey we need some help......grin

Beautiful second chances in life
Weather in Ireland? snowed in
Very nice cover.thumbs up

However..If I didn't know I would say it's about someone who had a near death experience or a serious illness and has recovered and been given a second chance in life...

Something spiritual.
Sands - okay, I can see that. Steer away from religious connotations, the 'Second' and the bright light could give the wrong impression. Ta.

writing
Finding someone after the death of a spouse? dunno

A scientific treatise on the refraction of light within airborne water droplets.
dunno

cowboy
Imback - you're good! or my cover artist, or the photographer, are good! Love that.
Molly, I shall move to Ireland. laugh
Daniela and Mic - it's not spiritual. Again, can see that now, again, something to work around. Thanks!
I should actually probably shut up, shouldn't I, it isn't 20 questions. doh

Taking notes and shutting up.
Is it about homeland and a second chosen one ???uh oh
Biff

It is not the cover or photograph, i think they need alot of work.

I am just assuming things by the title.handshake
Hi Elegsa
I like the title. It sounds like a story or a documentary relating to getting a second chance for something to happen in ones life.
Something on the cover confuses me. Maybe a darkblue margin would suit better than having it in black. JMO. wine
Well..judging by the comments so far..ummmm..

If you don't want to change the cover maybe you could write another story to go with it?dunno

I wouldn't mind the cover myself for some book I've been wanting to write and never got around to.
Calleis , hmmmmm not sure about that uh oh

Much darker, Zman! Must have the same effect as black..laugh
Actually, there is a phenomenon called a second rainbow:Secondary Rainbows fainter than a primary rainbow. A secondary rainbow appears outside of a primary rainbow and develops when light entering a raindrop undergoes two internal reflections instead of just one (as is the case with a primary rainbow).

Now, if the story is about a man and a woman then a silhouette of the couple would take away the religious connotation. Now, if it's about animals can't help you....grin grin

Calleis , so black then laugh rolling on the floor laughing
Phew Z you're quick but no I don't like that!

Sands, that is a fab photo!

Okay, spoilers. The book is about a mature woman suddenly back on the singles scene. Her name is Dorothy, and there is a sub-theme lightly linked to the Wizard of Oz (the book version from 1901) hence the rainbow.

The photo was to suggest late afternoon / Indian summer / mature singles
Still not sure on that uh oh

Biff wave hug

Love the title.... pic to bright....for a rainbow..

I would say a book about reincarnation...re birth....


teddybear teddybear
Stop writing so fast people.....
very mad very mad very mad
Hi Elegs,

Is the book about the next guy who will be taking over Stallone as Rambo? A second Rambo? idea

No? Oh well, I just took a try at it. doh

grin
Z, actually I rather like that colour. Hmm.


2b, yes, a kind of rebirth but in confidence, not spiritual. Unfortunately the rainbow has to be there as it is a link to the theme.

Ah! now if Z can transpose your pic here biff and call the book A CS Dream.....then we have a best seller...laugh
2B, I agree rolling on the floor laughing

Robert, I'm finding interesting things out about people from this! Better than a Rorschah blot laugh So you're a Rambo fan handshake
Sands, I'm pretty impressed! handshake can't be any suggestion of the film though or copyright issues deluxe
I like Sand ' s pic..certainly more adequate for the story. thumbs up
Its a story that puts the reader as a protagonist who falls yet again for a seemingly handsome soldier away on service in a foreign lands. Only to find out that his profile is false and the money she has been sending him to support the orphans of war is actually paying for his BMW dunno
Elegs,

Although I do like action movies and movies with a great plot, I am not so much one to watch movies. I am more of a writer and actor .. I prefer to be on the side that's entertaining, rather than being the side that's getting entertained. I don't know why that is. confused

I've been writing since I was a child. Some fun and some drama and some.. craziness too. laugh

I'm sure you must be a great writer! head banger
Hi Elegs wave
I agree with imbackagain. But I would add the word "SHORT" to it.
If my memory serves me well, there is never any rainbow that lasts long.. that's why we treasure it. No?


PS
I like the title of that book of yours! thumbs up
daniela, Sand's picture is from the musical version of The Wizard of Oz & Andrew Lloyd Webber might have something to say about using it on a book cover laugh
