I don't care for cover #3 because I don't like faces on my covers, as I prefer to imagine the characters on my own with the writers description.

I love the elements in these and experimented with a few combinations but not all the possibilities - by far. The story is set in both Chicago and San Francisco, so both backgrounds are appropriate, as well as eye-catching. Thanks so much for the suggestions. I'll try them out and see how they look!<br /><br />I'm probably 3/4 of the way through the revisions, so expect to hear from me about the edits soon!Alison Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12725250883303287946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883309291937926612.post-61116591759380669982013-06-04T11:12:14.912-07:002013-06-04T11:12:14.912-07:00Tami, this is my favorite, too, although I'm n...Tami, this is my favorite, too, although I'm not sure about the font. The story begins and ends in Chicago, so the skyline sets just the right tone. I also usually prefer not to see characters' faces unless they're perfect - which is very rare.

Is there a way to make the legs (or something similar to the legs) shot work with the bridge background. Or maybe a smaller backward figure but the full thing instead of the waist up. My two cents that may or may not be worth that much. LOL Does this mean I get to edit your book soon? Oh, I like the font on #3 best.Jannine Gallanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17692098634695675967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883309291937926612.post-41964987927756622212013-06-04T09:42:59.744-07:002013-06-04T09:42:59.744-07:00Hi Alison,

And I like the skyline. It seems more dangerous and exciting than the bridge.<br /><br />TamiTamara Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786624706319263340noreply@blogger.com
