Out of Bounds, the Novel.

Here's mk 1 of the cover of my soon-to-be-published golf adventure novel, Out of Bounds. It's a 64,000 word humorous ebook and everything is ready to go ... except the cover. What do you think? Would this cover make you want to buy the book? Or would you just bypass it without reading the blurb? Here's the blurb:
Jane Walters' humdrum existence changes dramatically when she and her husband are playing golf on the Mt Ruapehu golf course, and Ruapehu erupts. A mysterious American, Elwood Thomas, appears from nowhere and helps her off the mountain. Is his continued interest in Jane altruistic? Or does he have an ulterior motive? Mt Ruapehu holds all the answers.
I think the blurb also needs work. It's a bit airy-fairy.

  2. Quite right. Will completely redo cover and blurb as it's a novel that has a bit of golf in it, but is not a golf novel. Many thanks for feedback.
