Hey Jonny,
I'm no expert on graphic design, but I've been designing tshirts at my day-job for the past year and I've picked up a few things about text layout so I hope my suggestions help...
I would suggest centering the author's name. Since it's the only text that's off center it makes it feel a little unbalanced.
Also, I would treat the author's name the same as the title, the author's name should be just as important as the title, so they should have the same amount of focus. I think treating the subtitle the way you've currently treated the author's name would be a good idea too.
Lastly, just am idea...but maybe have lines going straight across the center of the circle connecting each person to the on opposite to them. I think it might reinforce the idea of connected/togetherness, and that they're all on a journey to the same goal. Might be a bit of a stretch but just an idea.
Hope this helps!
Also, I really like the photo you used because it makes the cover look really cool, but it feels like it's advertising a thriller novel, yet the title doesn't feel like that's what it's about. Do you mind if I ask what kind of book it is?
