    Just my one and a half cents here, but it would also depend on what kind of supernatural theme (romance, action a adventure, horror, and so on) you are using and what kind of audience/reader you are hoping to attract.

    Taking a quick look at the covers gave me the impression of romance which isn't my cup of tea. That being said, and as mentioned earlier, book covers do influence potential readers these days, so if your books include action, mystery, horror, or other supernatural elements, you might look into finding a way to include those elements in the cover art.

    As for world building, if it is only for the story you intend to write, the best suggestion I can offer is to not go overboard with it. Develop the world as much as needed only for the story you are going to tell. If the characters are only going to be in "kingdom A" and might meet people from "kingdoms B and C" there is no need to work up details for "kingdom D." In a similar fashion the characters (and readers for that matter) don't need to know all the details of the respective "kingdoms," just those that are pertinant to the story. It is a slick and steep slope when it comes to world building sometimes, one I've found myself sliding down more times than I would like to admit.

    Oh and welcome to the guild!

    One's worth is not measured by stature, alone. By heart and honor is One's true value weighed.
