Book Cover Design Brief

GOING SHOGUN is an odd, humorous, sci-fi novel, blended with mystery, that doesn't necessarily fit into any genre, which is why it's been difficult to find a proper cover design over the past year.

It may be best to provide the book blurb to give you an idea for a concept:

On the run. Out of time. A brownie recipe worth millions.

Lovable loser Chris waits tables by day and dreams of making something better of himself by night. But, under the almighty, oppressive rule of The Board and their divisive caste system, it's nearly impossible. That is until his super-geek pal and fellow waiter, Forklift, hits upon a foolproof scheme: steal their employer's ultra-popular, top secret recipes and sell them on a black market internet site.

It's all fun and games until the mysterious death of a local hacker shatters their surefire plan, sending them on a fast-paced adventure through the city's seedy underground, where they hope to salvage what's left and avoid capture by the Board Agents at all costs. Nobody comes back from that. Nobody.

I would like to see designs that are light, fun, and have a sci-fi feel, but also capture the idea that this is really just a book about two desperate waiters trying to steal some top-secret recipes and sell them on the internet.

The book is available on Amazon if you would like to read a sample to get a better feel for the story.
