do not mention direct names that change the setting of the book in the back blurb.
The stock fire image overlay is throwing me off, go on fiverr and pay for a real cover. You’re nor seriously willing to spend hundreds of hours writing a book but nor $200 on a cover, cmon.
Also play with the font color. I suggest opposite colors from your main cover colors, like yellow.

I’ll leave that for you to decide based on your own personality, but I’ll give you two things to mull over.
First, I’ll say that the internet is huge and there’s dozens of social media platforms to garner eyes before a book release. Which platform you decide to use depends on which medium best suits you.
For some it’s instagram. For some it’s tik-tok. For others it’s twitter. For even more it’s youtube or elsewhere. The point is it’s free and you should think about that before paid advertising.
The second thing I’ll leave you with are two podcasts.
The self publishing show, and novel marketing. Both are on spotify and I know at least one is on youtube. Both are great resources and one is done by an author with a networth of several millions from his action thriller novels.
