Dangerously confused
Hi,
Just an odd question - what are your opinions on tag lines on covers? You know the subsidiary lines under the title.
The reason I ask is that I've just got another short novel ready to go to the editor (I think she'll like it - it has that quality she looks for in all my work - fewer words!!!) And now I'm working on the cover.
The books called (at this stage) "The Dotard" And the bad guy - though he's not completely that - is an ageing wizard whose spells are misfiring badly. And I thought I'd chuck the tag line underneath "He's Doddering, Decrepit ... and Deadly!"
The line works with the image I'm looking at buying and the plot of the book. But I'm not sure whether people like or expect tag lines any more.
Thoughts?
Cheers, Greg.
