What does everyone think about the cover?

Here is my blurb for book 2, any thoughts?  "After discovering that he can enter the World of Books, 15 year-old Tommy Travers has accepted training under the Gifted and now must learn to control his new powers. He has already seen the devastating consequences of ignorance. The repercussions for his past decisions are not over. The escaped wizard Mephitis read his mind. He knows where the Gifted are. If he can just get his powers back the warehouse, the Gifted, the world, will be his. Tommy is the only one who can stop him, but first he must discover the secret that Amelia has been keeping from him all along."

Amy, I know it has been forever but sorry I missed you.  I have moved to St George Utah now so no more Chicago conferences.  I did go to LTUE in Provo Utah this year with Brandon Sanderson and a host of other greats and it was incredible.  I was there for 3 days soaking it all in.  I have been waiting to get my second book edited for forever and it is finally done.  I am releasing book two to Kindle on Black Friday.  I am going to workshop book 3 here on the site again as soon as I have the credits.  I have 12 or so chapters written.  What work would you like me to review?  Anyone else looking for a review buddy?  I would like 4 or 5 eyes on this and will be happy to reciprocate.

Thanks to you both.  This gives me what I need.

He also said that the first 4 books you write will suck and your 5th will mearly wreak.  David Farland said pretty much the same, your first 1,00,000 words won't be very good but writers need to view them as their education.  So in essence, write, and keep writing, and if you think it isn't very good that's okay, keep writing.

Very good K, I may steal some of that.

I have outlined most of Book 3 and have written the first 3 chapters.  I recently attended LTUE (Life, The Universe & Everything) in Provo UT and was just blown away.  It was 3 days of awesomeness.  LE Modessit, Brandon Sanderson, Shannon Hale, Kevin J Anderson and many other greats were there talking about every aspect of writing.  I took 9 pages of notes and will be typing them up.  Maybe once I'm done I'll be putting them up somewhere, perhaps on a thread here.  Book 2 cover is almost done.  i am re-doing book 1 cover before releasing book 2.  I also have a publisher who has asked for a submission from book 1 so crossing my fingers there.  If anyone would like me to write a guest blog for them on what I learned at LTUE, I would be happy to.
