Cover concept for _No Confidence_ - Pam Uphoff's Planet
Science Fiction and Fantasy

Gotta work over the face and hair, big time.
Nothing says "No Confidence" like Rael preparing to shoot you?
I tried to end the story with Rael saying she really would have killed him, and him replying that he had no confidence in that, but it just came out too contrived.
I think it's more "What will catch your eye and hint at what is inside" especially in a little tiny version of the cover? So, a person pulling a gun is actually a scene from the story, and makes you wonder why is she pulling a gun, and what is going to happen, right?
Yes. Actually, because it doesn't signal "Science Fiction" it's not a good advertisement for the story.
Replace the lantern with a glowing galaxy?
An exploding spaceship or a dragon in the background would signal sf or fantasy, but... doesn't really fit the story.
Hum... layer three different colored galaxy swirls (representing the branes) and have that as a series logo? Stick it in the corner or someplace? You could add it to the others from time to time?
Sorry, I'm just brainstorming. Hope some of it is helpful.
