I actually ended up doing the cover design myself with GIMP, a free program I downloaded online. I had sent in a preliminary cover with some ideas. The consensus ended up being that my preliminary cover was a better option to go with than the professional cover designer's in this case. So after a few changes to the preliminary, this is what we came up with.
Also, I'm not sure I mentioned this before, but the release date has been moved to September, much sooner than originally anticipated.

Seth,
Posting Jacob's cover on any and all sites you can... that would definitely be great! The more exposure his book gets the more hype it will generate. The cover image is meant to be distributed.
