Writing: Book Progress, Cover Mockups & Free Teaser

Yep - we're getting close. Just wrote the last sentence of my epilogue and now I'm on to formatting. Several people have asked when the next installment of  Curse of Royalty . now I'm so close that I can start planning the release. I'm about to break out the chocolate cake and fireworks. Can't wait to shove this thing out of the nest but I don't want it to be half baked either. Once it's out there, it's out there forever. Thoughts on these cover mockups? Are they eye-catching? Legible?  I'll re-cover the first one and then choose one of these or something that feels like one of these for the physical book that, unless it turns out to be 400+ pages, will have all three volumes included. And brain storm with me? I'm struggling to solidify titles for the next two installments -  Series Title: Curse of Royalty Book 1: Drayden's Queen [pretty much set in stone] Book 2: Abandoned Queen ?

Book Two: in progress

I think this is why I write... Finally "finished" what I hope is the second to last edit pass for Book Two of the Curse of Royalty series a week or two ago and sent it off to my awesome beta readers. I've already gotten stellar feedback from some of them. Currently, I'm in the middle of working on book three. I'm about 2/3s of the way through the manuscript and am at a standstill because I'm trying to figure out how Anthony will finally admit who he is. I've written and scrapped that scene so many times that I'm unsure how it all should play out (and still lead us down the road to the end scenes I've written). By this time in the story, the reader already knows who he is. They may not know his proper name, but they know who he is - it's just Peydra who is in the dark and needs enlightening. I'm not sure what her reaction should be. I know what mine might be, but I know that wouldn't work for the book.
