Vajayjay and Amazon: What I'm learning as I self-publish.

Note: As of this date, Amazon just took The Babysitter off of their site again for the cover. I'll have to get a new cover for it.

FYI, to all writers interested in self-publishing. Amazon does not play with vajayjay on their covers.

Amazon rejected The Babysitter book cover five times. 

The one below is the approved one.

Initially the cover looked like this:

Obviously the big difference of the two is that one has a big ugly ass box at the bottom and one doesn't.

What is funny to me, is that Amazon never explained why they rejected the original cover. 

I (my slow behind) had to guess. 

Clearly, for most people, the answer was obvious, but for me. . .

I stared at that cover for hours, wondering, "What's wrong with it?"

Finally my husband walked by and said, "It looks like the girl's vajayjay is showing a little in the shadows."

To be fair to me and the model:

I don't think this model is completely naked. 

Surely she's wearing underwear right? 

But no. . .Amazon wasn't having it.

This forced me to change The Muse's book cover from bare nipple. . . 

Hey, I thought I could get away with it. . .it's ART!

Here's the painted over nipple cover that they did accept:

I get Amazon's reasoning.

However, I found the original covers to be captivating and not lewd at all. Especially when there are some pretty icky lewd covers out there. 

Sorry. I bet you won't be able to get that out of your mind for the rest of the day. . . 

Granted, this is just my personal opinion but. . .
