Below is a link to the Google Drive for Possible Images to include in the Cover and Back.

#1 Priority is the cover looks good on a Kindle Thumbnail at 60 x 90
pixels and the larger version at 60 x 90 pixels—that are extremely
challenging to carry off as any kind of good design and on the
product
detail page, at 300 pixels.
The Subtitle is long so the cover could include it or not based on how much space it takes up.
The Image of me holding the stick is meant to have a large pencil photoshopped in its place.
I have an account with istock so we can use images from there if necessary.
