The Maggie Series (reimagined)

The Maggie series has been out for quite a while now and the covers are looking a little tired. I've been thinking of redoing them, and retitling them as well.

For a long time I've considered the title: Black Beach. But recently worried, given the genre, the uninitiated will think it's interracial hotwife erotica. I want the series to have more weight. than just the Maggie title on it. The series (at least to me) is way more than a dirty book meant for casual kicks. It has more layers to it, and I tried at times to write it like regular fiction. I wanted to have something more powerful on the cover.

So this is my most recent try. I went with the title Black Sand. The black sand beach outside Maggie's Rhode Island place seems like a new birthplace for adult Maggie, and I also like the idea of sand as a measurement of time.

What do you think? Do you like the title? Do you like the cover?

I also wanted to add the image of the bird cage but everything I tried came out clumsy. Here's the bird cage:

Obviously this isn't exactly great, but this is where I'm at.

So what do you think? Am I off base with these ideas? If you've read the Maggie series, what strikes at your heart about the books symbolically; what's an image you'd use to describe the Maggie series to someone you think might like the books?

And here's another question: if you've never read the Maggie series (why not?), would you prefer to buy it in one big 300k word chunk, or to buy the individual books?

Should I take down the individual books and leave up the collected version only? Do you find all my books and series confusing when you go to my Amazon page?

I wonder if I left up the individual books maybe I could use a symbol for each book, some totemic representation against a stormy sky, the bird cage just being one example. Just brainstorming here, and I'd love to hear your thoughts, whether you loved Maggie, hated Maggie, or have never read any of the books at all!
